Used to be all I could do was run into the bathroom and cry after it was over. Now I'm like, "Oh well, it is what it is---I'm doing the very best I can and if it's not good enough, it's not for lack of trying."

I can also get lost on a backcountry road without freaking out now. That's another huge change for me. I was a bundle of bipolar hot mess before the last couple of med changes, and if not being one means I'm "numb", I'm perfectly happy being numb.
I am also on Zyprexa. This is the state of mind that I look for and rarely happens. This tells me the brain chemistry is in ballance and all is well. Confidence and stability. I call it being "bullet proof".
