This is definitely an intriguing question and I've enjoyed reading the answers thus far.

I think I'm all over the board with this. I'm recently out of the hospital (91 days and counting), and five years since initial diagnosis but learning so much every single day. I'm fighting my symptoms every day, but they are the little ones that exhaust me now. They feel petty next to the ones that other posters have mentioned so far, I'm stuck in a longer cycle of depression currently.

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I'm monitoring the little things now, like am I showering. Am I snapping at my kids? Am I able to sleep well with a slightly reduced dose of trazodone?

The hardest one for me is the showering. Someone on another forum gave me some insight last night to check google for more info on that. When I don't shower, its a sign that I'm not taking care of myself.

Am I missing the mark on this? Set me straight please. I want to take part effectively in the conversations here.
