I'm currently writing this from one of the only places in the UK that doesn't have snow, and consequently one of the only places that hasn't fallen apart.
I feel left out.

I spoke to my psychiatrist today and we discussed my lack of CPN support. He has said that he will write to the local day centre and confirm that he will provide back up if required, so I might give that a go.
He has also increased my anti-psychotics in a hope of decreasing my anxiety and improving my low mood. He suggested some Valium but I told him that they don't help much (at all) and he agreed that the anti-psychotics I have are much more powerful weapons.
He then suggested that if this doesn't work I might want to think about some new anti-depressants -- MAOIs.
Which kind of brings me back to my last post -- can pills help when the problem is in the real world? Stress and money worries and agoraphobia and crippling loneliness -- can pills help with those?
My psychiatrist seems to think they would.
I said I would see how I get on with the increased dose and think about it.
I am worried about the dietary restrictions -- I don't trust myself when I am feeling low, not to deliberately eat or drink something prohibited.
But the thought of feeling better is, as always, enticing.

Some days I feel like Betty Blue. Other days it's more like Betty Boop.
