Its day 30! One month... wow.... I never thought I would make it just a few weeks back. I am up to 15 mg of Lexapro today... feeling good after an hour and a half workout at the gym this morning. Finger joints will prob hurt later today but whatever.... the price for trying to stay healthy in your 40's I guess......
Even light exercise to start... go for a walk or if you have access to a treadmill that can work as well....it really made a difference for me....
Glad to hear you're doing well. Happy to hear that the new psych is taking you on as a patient!
I appreciated your suggestion to incorporate some exercise back into my life, but I haven't figured out how or when yet. I wake up so jittery that I need to drink a protein shake right away, and then I feel a bit better. But my stomach isn't too happy then. Hard to exercise when your stomach is full and upset! I'll have to see if I can figure out another time to do it.
Yay! Glad you made the decision!! I think it will be a positive move! :0)
Well met with the psychiatrist and she has agreed to take me as a patient so I am moving over and will let my GP know this week that my counselling and medications will now be monitored and dispensed by the psych...... feeling good about that decision
The pain in your finger joints is most likely related to something you are doing at the gym. I am 47 or will be in a few days and I did P90X and now I apparently have some sort or rotator cuff problem that I now have to go get looked at. I played softball into my 30s and racquet ball into my early 40s and P90X took me down...We aren't spring chickens anymore! But in any case, certainly bring it up to your new doc. Best of luck and glad you are feeling much better.
