I don't want you to feel alone...you aren't cause we are here for you. I just came out of a debilitating depression and I feel compassion for you. I was depressed.very badly then slipped into hypomania briefly then fell down again. I had to go into iop.program at the hospital for over a month. It sounds like you are super busy with five kids or I would recommend going into iop which stands for intensive outpatient at a hospital. It's not impatient and you go all week during the day. Or if you have a busy schedule you could go a few.days per week? You get to see.a pdoc and therapist weekly. They stabilized my meds and the group's really helped alot. It sounds like the lithium really helped you. Is he or she trying a different mood stabilizer for you?? Don't ever apologize for posting here. Are you on other meds too? It makes me sad when a med is working so well for you but you have to cut down on the effective dose. What is yr pdocs perspective on this?
