When mum first had my sister she was out in the country and didn’t know how to drive but they did have a bus that went into town and over to other nearby towns. There were trains too. But then everyone had two cars and they stopped public transportation. Now people have no choice but to have a car.

Gkitty I’ve been lucky with latuda it’s kept me very stable without the flatness of lamictal. I do understand what you mean by missing the ups but I’m happy not to have them now as they are terribly hard physically. Sure mood wise I’m spinning and happy but it’s too hard on me physically to be manic as I don’t sleep.
