Hey everyone in DT. It's been awhile since I have been online or participated in DT. You may wonder why, or you may not. I have been trying to get my life together, and I had a few surgeries that required me to rest a lot and try to get better. Now I am in physical therapy and still mental therapy. I have been having a lot of ups and downs with my mood swings. I went to the pysch ward a few weeks ago in order to get my mood stabilized, and I left the hospital a week later with two prescriptions by the pyschiatrist: Lamictal and Geodon. I have to say that the Geodon is working, but I don't like the Lamictal too much. It kind of dampens my mood at night, and I tend to get highly irritated. However, I am dealing with every day and night with one step at a time. I have been quite antisocial since I moved to another city in Virginia a few months agoand it bothers me that I have difficulty making new friends and associates. However, I have met a wonderful man who loves and supports me. I am grateful to have him in my life. I am planning on going to Job Corps in a coupleweeks. I am waiting on the center to call me to let me know the details of my acceptance. They should be calling me within the next couple weeks. I am going to Job Corps to train in a couple trades in the medical field, and I am very excited about that because it will give me a whole lot of better opportunities in the work field. Otherwise than that…everything else has been going smoothly. I hope that everyone has been doing well, and keeping their heads up. I love you all in a therapeutic way.

Hugs,

Jamaica
