Progress
I promise I will get back to reviewing books fairly soon but right now my life is moving so much that I want to write about that.
After being off the meds I returned to normal pretty fast. By sunday I was able to participate in a boardgame again. And a long one at that! We played the full version of through the ages this time. It is a civilization like game and great fun! This could become one of my favorites easily.Pitty it is very expensive or I would buy it myself. But 80 euro is a bit steep.
Monday was nice and quiet, fystiotherapist and preparing for my client on tuesday. On tuesday I had a low level headache and decided not to do anything anymore and just relax. At that moment Sandy called and she and Nina came by with some boardgames. Great relaxing combo, doggy and games! First we played two games of Attika, another one of my favorites that they own. this game is fun with two or three people and doesn't last too long so nice to play inbetween. If I ever see a cheap deal for it I am going to buy. Then we played Carcassonne the castle, it is the two player variant and I had never played it before. Because of the castle walls it is more restricted then the normal carcassonne but I liked it a great deal. And I won! Always nice.
Then that evening I had the last session with a client, it's the first time I have done the whole trajectory for real. It felt good, his evaluation was very good and he found the counseling very helpful and of course I am pretty happy with that.
This morning I met with one of my coaches and we posted the request for an IRO. Now have to wait when and if the UWV is going to anwser. And I have been emailing with my other coach to set up some kind of scedule to see how I can find relaxation exercises and physical activities that suit me. I am usually a pretty disciplined person but in these two fields I find it very hard to motivate myself and get my ass in gear. I don't like physical exercise, and even when I am not working I dont' think I have the time for it. :) And the relax exersises, yeah I can tell others but find it very hard to relax myself. But I am motivated to try again. If meds are not the solution I want to tackle the headaches in another way. I just started on the new meds this afternoon, I am going to build the dose very very slowly and at the first sign of trouble am going to ditch them. I hope this works but if it is another disaster, I am not going to try again. In that case the solution is not meds for me. But thinking positive, there is a solution for me, and I am going to find it.
