Well, even though I didn't think this was an emergency, he called me back after his last patient of the day. He's pretty awesome like that, but he also made it clear he wasn't messing around with it and instructed me to double up on the Geodon---again---to see if that'll bring me down. I think he thinks I'm more manic than I think I am, and I'm worried about being zombified at work, but I have to go along with the program because it could be disastrous if I don't.
Still, I am kinda proud of myself for doing the difficult thing and letting the expert decide how serious things are, rather than relying on my own (faulty) judgment. That hasn't worked well for me in the past; maybe I'm finally getting it.
Thanks for your support!
