After 3 months in this rough NW, I finally got seen by a psych practitioner.
Turns out he's from my area of the US, newly here just 2 months. Good. Common ground.
I'm feeling better in that he spent over an hour with me and was keen to observe that the lithium looked perhaps high, and saw no reason for it. So will taper down.
He also said he didn't see bipolar as any right diagnosis. Thank you. No cycles, no ups, downs, no extreme behaviors.
He added for the greater problem of depression, Cymbalta.
He also upped the Aricept to 10 mg.
We shall see. This is progress.

She is an artist without doubt disappointed that paradise was not as close in 1969 as she and so many others hoped it was. Her work is now filled with the reality of humanity's failure to achieve the prophetic dream of her song, but never without the hope that that day will yet come.
