Feeling calmer

After the usual first-thing butterflies, things began to feel pretty normal. Got up and all that and started the day. Really wanted to go out, visit Mum, do a bit of shopping, whatever. However Mum-in-law called round and that's never quick! Hubby had bookwork to do so I was basically stuck waiting until after lunch. Finally I went to Mum's alone (yey!) with no problems, no nerves, no waves of depression. Great stuff! When I got home I was exhausted (amazingly) and so I sat and Brain Trained with the TV on until hubby got home.

So basically today has been an average normal day. I did have a moment of anxiety when I felt a bit frustrated that we couldn't go out when I wanted to (I do like to control the day!) but it passed and right now, although I'm tired and a bit weary, I feel pretty normal. Now, is this the way forward or will I go back again? Who can say but it certainly makes a pleasant change to feel calm for most of the day.

Tomorrow I have two challenges: a visit to the chiropractor (5 mile drive) and a session at the gym (2 mile drive). I'm not really worried about the gym because I'm prepared for it and after last time I'm looking forward to getting back. The chiropractor should be fine it's just a new task to conquer since coming off the Effexor. It's all about regaining my confidence now.
