I think I am better. Is that possible only taking lithium 1 week so far? 1st blood level check tomorrow. Clear headed enough I actually got some things done and am looking at going back to work.

Also got to thinking. So basically even if this turns out to be my meds and I take them as prescribed, see PDoc and T, etc. I could still go manic or depressed, no guarantee? But if I do not take them as prescribed, see PDoc and T, etc. pretty much guaranteed I will go manic or depressed. This requires radical acceptance on my part of this Dx and that I be careful to act, think, etc. how I want to be to help avoid letting myself think it is inevitable that I will go psychotically manic or black hole depressed again.

I still have no idea what stable is, but my moods seems to be swinging less widely though just about everything makes me cry or cranky.
