I'm mostly managing well, but yesterday was difficult. I was not expecting these feelings and limitations to persist here in Illinois to anything like the degree they have. I'm more inclined to believe, after taking a dose rather late, that the medication I'm on is making a significant difference. It was hard to tell before; my life was in significant flux after starting on it, so it was hard to establish a baseline. But I have found potential affordable mental health care to look into, and have applied for Medicaid on the physical health side.

I'd like to see people, but have to sort my brain out before going out for visiting. My family's house in Kenosha feels safe, but other places make me anxious. It could potentially be nice to see people here though. I'm hoping that I (and Miriam, who is having a difficult time with her qualifying exams right now and who also needs some coping time for that) am up to arranging something like that soon.
