I have two weeks to go before my Geodon is lowered again

I thought I would write and share how it has been going, after my last writing the relating to Jeff and my brother is better. I have not flew into a rage since I wrote last so that makes the living around me better.

I have had many thoughts, some things I have not thought of in awhile. It is interesting how things I haven’t thought of in a long time just pops into my mind, and then I have to figure out what to do with it. I want to know why it is there in the first place. I know that I am in control of my thoughts after i have them and I have been working at letting many of them go,saying they were something I thought of in my past but I do not have to think of them now. There are others that bring with them some emotions that I have not experience in a while,again have to figure out why now and what to do with them.

I believe that for an year and half I have had a cap on my emotions and thoughts and now that I am slowly getting off of the med some things are able to resurface. I am trusting that I am able to handle those emotions and thoughts without a medicine.
