I'm Peep. I was finally diagnosed with BiPolar Type II, after years of going on and off anti-depressants (as well as meds for ADHD...) I'm stuck in the "down" part of my cycling... have been for more than a year. I'm not sure if I'm on the wrong meds or what. I take Lamictal as mood stabilizer and Abilify for depression. Lately, I have been grieving my mania. I know how destructive it can be but I also know how productive I feel, at the beginning at least. I have been with my psychiatrist for over a year but will meet with a new therapist on the 29th of May. I'm both nervous and excited to begin a new chapter in therapy. First, though, I suspect I'm going to need to adjust my meds again. My psychiatrist has recently also suggested ECT...which is scary beyond words. I look forward to meeting and chatting with you guys along the way. Thanks for the support.
