It's a few minutes before 3:00 p.m. on a Sunday and I just now took a shower. No motivation.
Can't think of anything to do so I'll go see a movie. By myself. As always.

I was about to say - add Prozac! Prozac with Lithium has been a wonderful combination for me. It has allowed me to go into interviews confidently - something I could not do on Lithium alone - enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass, and have quick spontaneous orgasms from mere thoughts! Plus, Prozac has been great against suicidal acting out. I highly recommend it.
Edited to add: sorry, I did not read through the whole thread. I see that you are off Lithium now. I still recommend Prozac, but you have to be on some MS or AP to prevent Prozac-induced mania or hypomania.
