perpetuallysad: Today has been one of those bad days. I haven't wanted to leave my apt., I'm really jittery, my mind is racing a mile a minute, and I cry at the least little thing. I've been on lithium for almost 30 years and on depokote for about 15 years; if I try to go without either med. I soar into a major mania episode. I didn't sleep well at all last night from 1:00am until 6:00 am with several wakening up times. My dog is my therapy dog and I don't know what I'd do without her.
