I am on meds. I just started a new one, but it has to be slowly titrated to avoid a deadly rash. (Lamictal is what I am taking) It will take a while to get into therapeutic ranges. So until then I have to just hold on. And hold on I will with the help of people who care about me. Over the next few months, and beyond, I will try to establish new habits, patterns of behavior to help me. I'm sure my t can help me with that.
As to the one-sidedness of my relationships, I think that during my down periods I am the side that is lacking because I withdraw or worse get irritable. Thank you both for your support and you can help me by just keeping it coming.

They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
