Hi ((Pink)),

Pulling my head out of a depression momentarily I can see a similarity in how I have been behaving and your lack of ability to do those things that bring you comfort and enjoyment in life. I have not been able to do anything creative or balance my checkbook either.
For me, I believe it is a combination of depression and the working through of some deeply buried issues I am encountering in therapy.

I hope you can allow yourself some more time to adjust to the lithium. Didn't pdoc say they would add something to it once it balanced out? So, in the meantime maybe you can develop a new, more passive hobby? Like, say, watching a whole slew of John Candy movies? Or all of the Family Vacation movies?

It really feels like you are in the middle of this change, so stay the course and lean on us--we will cheer you up.

So, here's a little pdoc joke to get you started:

Peek-A-Boo

A guy walks into a psychiatrist's office covered only in Saran Wrap. He says to the doctor, "I've felt so weird lately, Doc, can you tell me what's wrong?"
The doctor replied, "Well, I can clearly see your nuts!"
