That's ME!!! And I'm
on meds........
Actually I had 3 really good weeks, and then my pdoc said to stop Celexa (we've been tapering down over the past few weeks) because we both thought it probably contributed to my recent manic episode. It wasn't three DAYS before I went into this irritable, distractible, ugly-***** mood, and while I've been trying to keep up appearances, by noon today I was ready to kill the next thing that knocked on my office door!!
It wouldn't be so bad had I not gotten that taste of normality, my first in years. And I'm not depressed---I'm just
pissed. For absolutely NO reason. Now I understand why some people give up and OD on pills, crash their cars, or eat their .38 special (not that
I would, I'm too big a weenie to face God and try to justify such a thing to Him)......sometimes, the process of getting well just seems overwhelming.
