Thank you.
I just remember the horrible paranoia where I felt like I was going schizo, and that's when I was put on the ap.
And then I was put on the mood stabilizer after my most recent episode in a depressive state this past summer. Which I think followed an episode of mania or hypomania and mixed states.
I can't tell if I've always been this way, or if the meds just made me aware of being this way, you know? Or if the meds made me this way. But then I look further back to before I was on meds, and I was doing some pretty bad things. It's hard to determine because I've been pretty high-functioning.
It's so confusing, I hate it!
