Thanks for the kind words and sharing, everyone

Dumbfounded- I feel equal parts happy like 'Yay I can do something about this' and scared like 'Oh god, "this" is bp.'

Christina, I'm working on getting a therapist but money is really tight right now (had to cancel with the hospital-appointed one). Unfortunately my insurance sucks so options are limited :/ I know how important they are though, and definitely don't want to lose sight of getting one.

Deelooted I so hope you find harmony with your meds soon. Over the years I've heard multiple people complain especially about bipolar meds, while other people have used them fine so I suspect it's really a 'personal cocktail' kind of thing.

I've only been on these medicines for a couple weeks and am still trying to feel them out. It feels like all the emotions are there, just trapped behind glass.
