Thank you for sharing this Coco.

I spoke to one of the lecturers whom I trust and admire her work about drugs, she said this thing;
"The drug doesn't make you fat, food does. Yes, you may experience increased appetite but it doesn't mean you have to let it control you, nor does it dictate what food you eat. You'll just have to choose wisely and eat with awareness"

I'm encouraged to go this route, to Lithium but am still doubtful. I recognize the doubt's source, it comes from the elevated state of mine thinking: "See, you're already better now.. why on earth u need this ****? You're feeling great, maybe you won't get down again.."
Uhh...
