I'm not taking extra or obsessing about it...And i'm not blissfully happy night and day either which was one of my silly fears before hand.

Each to their own, but I don't consider I'm breaking recovery - I'm simply looking after myself and my quality of life.

congrats on 125 days Carlingford

Thanks, Dee, I'm feeling good today after 1st day in a new job. I was getting numb hanging around in the Covid crisis worrying about bills, etc etc. getting to use my brain in work and have no doubt I will sleep soundly tonight. Feeling normal again Thank God, I will continue as long as my doctor says too. No high just normal and anxiety, head melts and obtrusive thoughts and gone. Take care and Thanks for reply
