wackywidow, really thanks for that...Going through a very strange phase right now and I feel that this is what I needed to hear...Even though I have worked through all this before, I think moving somewhere else has rebooted brain or something, I need to be reminded of the crucial things on a regular basis.
'The lower the sun, the longer the shadow; the bighter the sun, the darker the shadow' - so true! Ah, the sun...

madcapzany - what I tell myself when I feel this kind of 'flatness' you describe, is to forget for a moment any kind of expectations I have from myself, meds, or anyone else and just think as simply as possible what I can do in that moment with what I have...I think this calms down my frustration with 'flatness' (in my case I see the flatness as frustration mixed with panic that I won't be able to do what I 'want') and I think that way you don't miss out on what is accessible to you...What you can do becomes life rather than what you can do being distractions until you can live life. The first one leads you to having a much more meaningful and full life I think I hope this makes sense!

Hugs to all
