Yes, you said it much better than me, grandma. It seems that the mood stabilizer (abilify) does a great job of surpressing the manias. I get so tired of being "slightly" depressed. Thank goodness I am not in the place I have been at times with depression-completely unable to handle tasks and crying all of the time-but I do get tired of having to dig up energy to get simple tasks done.
Today: take child 3 to swimmeet, host child 2's two playmates, take child 1 to babysitting, go to child 4's baseball practice and then pick him up from a playdate. Also, run errands and get the house in good enough shape to avoid embarrassment when parents pick up children. I'd better get started!
