I was pretty evened out with the lithium. kinda had slight hypomanic episodes but I decided to go off of the lithium to gain some jolts of creativity and activate my Mr. hyde (Sorry old english reference.) and instead I've been pretty mellow and depressed. Its so strange how bipolar just adjutates and does what it wants. i am usually more manic but this summer has been awful for me. I hate summer as it is butwith out the manic bliss that i can use to survive, and all of the stress going on in my life, Ive just been giving up.
