Hey!
I am going on a trip to Norway for a week, starting December 26th. I will be gone for a week. I have been having problems now and then with my Schizophrenia. I get scary symptoms where my mind and body do funny things. What can I do to insure the trip is safe and happy? I spoke with my therapist and we are going to make a list of coping strategies. Is there anything else I can do? I want to go as prepared as possible so it goes well.. Thanks! __________________ God is good all the time! Mark 10:18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered.

Maybe if you really get into planning the trip you will see potential pitfalls and be able to walk through it, in a way.

If you're on any medications be sure to bring them. Try to make sure you get good sleep, traveling is stressful even if it's for a good reason. If you have a PRN (as needed) medication be sure to bring that too so that could help you when/if you're having symptoms flare up. It's great that your therapist is helping you come up with a list of coping strategies, those are very useful!
Hope your trip goes well!
