Or maybe she just gets burned out.
I don’t really have anyone I can talk to in a completely transparent way. I’ve been thinking about finding a therapist for that. Who knows. Upped lithium, but that will take days to build up in my system. Took way too many Xanax last week and I’m running low. Been trying to go easy on them, but they’re the only thing that help quickly.
I’m sick and I know it. I wish I got a little more understanding at home. Apologies for the long post.

You can post here as much as you want. I am sorry to hear you are suffering. Therapy sounds like a good idea. With the right therapist you will find some relief, and hopefully make good progress. Be careful with the Xanax as if you run out after developing a dependance on it the experience will be awful. Could you see your psychiatrist soon to get a script and discuss the right dose for you? Take care.
