I bought for my birthday a little white book shelf for my bedroom, a set of cotton percale sheets with bright flowers on them that look like watercolors (blues/violets/greens), and I will be getting my hair cut. The book shelf arrived today so I'm going to do my best to assemble it tonight. My therapist called it "a project." So, yes.
The med increases haven't kicked in yet, of course. Hopefully I'll start feeling it by tomorrow. I think this one is the worst depression I've had yet. They seem to get worse every year (fall).
Next year I am NOT going to wait for the "use your tools" routine. This is biological. This is bipolar disorder. If I'm still seeing med dude, or whoever I'm seeing, I will arm myself with records, notes, whatever, and be prepared for this season with med increases. It's cruel and it's archaic to have to plunge into the depths of the hellish side of this disorder every year before I get accurate treatment.
