I can't remember a time not being like this, but I didn't know or recognize what was going on because I just assumed this was the way I was supposed to be. I just new something was "off" or "insane" about myself, an "it is as it is kind of thing".

Dang... I can't tell you how much that pattern rings true to me. (and scares me more than a little) I came ripping out of a depression much stronger than ever this January and happened to have my appointment just a few days later...
depakote vs just a few more weeks; it could have ended so badly. Just dumb luck, an available slot, and a doc willing to open with the stabilizer first.
