So here’s the thing guys. I am so excited for this trip. We have just landed safely in Dubai, but damn my anxiety also kicks in for the flying because, I hate flying on a good day (Thank the Pope, that part of my medication is a twice daily application of Urbanol……so that helps with some of the anxiety).
The rush around the past few days has left me in a nasty habit of not completing my daily Mood Diary. So after this blog that’s where I am heading next.
I am one lucky guy, and I have to keep reminding myself this. I am blessed to have a family that loves me, a partner who is with me through thick and thin and the opportunity to say I have travelled a bit.
I can feel that my mood stabilizer has warn off, however I was advised by my psychiatrist and my psychologist to only take the meds on the second flight (the one from Dubai to New York), so hopefully that will kick in quickly with my other drugs and I’ll most likely be semi comatose for majority of the 14 hour flight.
We have had the opportunity to have a shower in Dubai, so now we can at least say we are fresh for the next leg……until the drugs kick in……lol.
I know we don’t all get the opportunity to travel, but one thing I realized in my most vulnerable moment, is life is short. In a blink of the eye, it can all be over….so take the chance and live your life, what have we got to lose.
So here’s to living life!
