Reflecting A Bit On 2020: On Friendships, On Psychosis
2020 has sucked. There are no two ways about it.
This year, I watched a lot of my friendships dissipate over politics.
And, in a lot of ways, that is just unacceptable.
But, you know what… life goes on… does it not?
In the last short while, I’ve also reduced my antipsychotic drug, with the support of both my wife and my psychiatrist.
It really should have happened a long time ago, but I just didn’t have the support I needed to make it happen.
It is unfortunate, but that is the truth.
In short, I am seeing a few things more clearly… and, I have a tad bit more energy as well!
If I could go back in time, I would surrender some of my fears and make the change sooner.
However, that’s just not reality and I must accept that!
And, I do.
I should also mention, that being on less of this medication means I feel/experience more, and this is a real challenge that I am addressing.
Tell me about some of your 2020 woes. I am sure we all have plenty!

Hopefully 2021 is a better year, and I hope the med decrease ends up working out well!

I’m working on it, thank you! I will need to have an antipsychotic in my system, but I didn’t need as much as I had.
