First Treatment

Yesterday was my first treatment. Word of cation, don't go for afternoon treatments go as early as you can. Where I go starts at 4 a.m. Eventually I'll get bumped up but right now I'm getting put in the afternoon. It just sucks having to wait 8 hours to eat or drink anything. That's easier done when you're sleeping. Haha. Spent most of yesterday feeling sick from the anesthesia, I don't even think I could get myself to watch any shows. Eventually my girlfriend came over and we watched some movies. Very low key. Well, except for the headaches. However, day after I am sitting in my room at my desk and listening to rain fall outside on all of the leaves that engulf my parent’s house. Headaches aren't bothering me. Today I feel very clear minded, even energetic. Can one treatment cause a change? I don’t know. Does it matter? Is this a change or my perception of change? For whatever reason I am sitting here feeling pretty good. Aside from the muscle aches in my neck and shoulder. It hurts to swallow and turn my head. Talking isn’t that great either. That being said, I did start my morning off as the keynote speaker for a youth services event sharing my journey with mental illness. So if that doesn’t tell you how functional I am after the first treatment then I don’t know what will because 150 people is the biggest crowd I’ve had so far presenting through NAMI. So we’ll see where I’m at in a week after a few more treatments but damn good start. I will check in along the way.
