COLD FEELINGS
KALDE FØLELSER
For over 20 years I have used different
kinds of antipsychotics and in some periods
also antidepressants.
The last couple of years - since finding faith,
starting ketogenic therapy, doing a lot of workouts
in my mind (introspection, focus, change +++)
I have been able to gradually reduce my drug dose
(in cooperation with my psychiatrist) and I
am slowly moving towards zero mg.
It has been a difficult, wonderful,
painful, lonely, hopeful, grief-filled
and surprising journey.
My drawing "Cold Feelings" illustrates part of
that experience. The medication leaving my body.
My body and mind reacting and slowly adapting.
Ice melting from my soul.
Every day - all is new.
The space in my mind
which used to be filled with
psychotic symptoms
and worries is
now
(in the present)
constantly changing
and tomorrow is far away
every new day.
