So I'm kind of looking up. I recently applied for a bank and the postal service where I live. I'm hoping I get one of those. All I can do though is keep trying. I haven't my pdoc in a while and I don't know if he is going to take me off lithium. He might as that is what could be causing me to gain weight. I have noticed since being on lithium that my moods has been better, although my depression seems to be worse as the day goes on. I don't know why. Maybe this part of bipolar disorder. Experiencing mood swings like this. It happened to me before my diagnosis. I would just be driving and this sadness came over me, like a heavy feeling in my chest.
