I'm doing a bit better... decided not to start lithium and lowered the AD, but got a dog. It's helping. I've actually been on a bit of a rollercoaster - doing really well one day and badly the next. Today is a good day (except really tired because don't sleep much), so the world seems rosy. Know it won't last, but nice while it does!! my pdoc gave me a mood log (trying to convince me i need lithium and spent all of last session trying to do so). Luckily it's my choice ultimately and don't plan on lithium unless i'm falling off the planet again...
