So many of us here feel like we're playing a role. That's a primary reason why I don't mind being alone as much as I am. Being alone is much easier than not being able to be genuinely myself.
I hope (and I believe) that Lamictal will help you to feel more stable. It really is such a "mellow" med...it quietly does its job, really well. You're still not at a therapeutic dose, so be patient (I know it's hard).
I wish I could wave a magic wand and make you feel better. I can't, but I will tell you that I'm sure glad you're here. So stick around here and remember that this is a place where you always have support and friendship, and understanding.

Thank you, yes I am seeing a therapist and I've kind of tried to talk about this, but I find it hard to convey the feeling exactly. I often do think it would be easier to be alone, especially since I'm a loner by nature. But at the same time I suppose it's good to have that sense of responsibility towards my kids to counter the SI. I also have my hopes set on the Lamictal. We'll find out soon enough, but in any case thank you for your kind words!
