I am glad to see you here-I'm new myself, both to the community and my diagnosis (I was treated solely for depression for years). Have you tried any of the other mood stabilizers besides Lamictil? I took that with some small success for a while, but when I was in the hospital recently they switched me to lithium, whigh has helped in many ways tremendously. Many people apparently have trouble with side effects, but I have been OK. I still go up and down, but the medicine gives me a bit of space to get in there with the bad thoughts and make them go away, which is a good thing.

I just hate it when people tell me to just snap out of it...do they think we like this?

Remember that everyone is here to comfort and support you.

Keep movin' on!
