How do I stay sane these days? How do I keep from going totally nut-so and winding up back in the hospital?

I keep myself busy with writing. Today I went on campus and worked for about 3 hours, working on a new screenplay. Maybe it'll be for an actual short film I'll do some day. Anyway, I also was talking to some people through e-mail who are interested in being actors in the last screenplay I wrote. I'm hoping it will become a reality. It's creating a lot of stress for me, but also is real exciting.

I take my medication (sometimes) and go to the student health center for counseling just so people don't bitch and moan. The treatment I undergo is really more for my family and friends then for me, being as it only makes them feel better. But it does actually help me too as then I don't have to listen to whining.

I work a lot too, that way I stay busy and productive, and I make money. Which is always nice.

For me to not go "nut-so" the first thing is meds. I cannot go without my meds. I take them and they help. Staying busy is important too.

Take care,

Keep your feet on the ground, the sun on your face and the wind at your back. Live, love, laugh, learn, listen, David

You should be proud of yourself with everything your doing, and keep focusing on the screen play you can do it.  Most people with mental health disorder are very artsy and talented in writing, drawing, photos etc. So make your dream come tre that is one thing you can have some control over!!!  Ill keep cheking to see how your doing! I like reading what you write its positive!  Have a good day!!!  Janet
