I am completely not in homeostasis with the loss of one drug and the addition of a new one.
Homeostasis is about being in balance throughout one's self; stable; together. It is about being comfortable within one's self and I'd go as far to say within one's surroundings.
I am just about off of the one controlled substance. I am still on the pain medicine and I have recently been given a 24 hour pill.
So, as I take the 24 hour pill and it doesn't allow me comfort, I struggle with individual 4-6 hour pills and when to take them and how much as I have this thing about not taking more than I need. It is very strong within myself just now. I'd like to be off of them to see where, who and what I am without them. All I can do is try my very best and see if this is the time. It just may be. And, I'm uncomfortable to commit to same. Yikes! I guess it is the fear of having pain.
To find the balance between comfort level with the drug and discomfort with the amount of milligrams my body is used to is anything but homeostasis.
And, I walk on.
May you achieve homeostasis; as often and as much of it as you can in your daily life. Find your balance, your comfort and your contentment [and your awareness of same] and you will achieve it.
