Hi everyone. I'm in this weird state of somehow feeling very stable while also having certain depression symptoms. My psych gave me permission to try a higher dose of risperidone if I felt I needed it, but I'm not sure that would do the trick since they are depression symptoms. No med seems to be able to help with these. I'm noticing I'm emotionally overwhelmed so that probably has something to do with it. Even before my diagnosis, I struggled with these symptoms so maybe they are just going to be part of my day to day life. During the day, I'm mostly fine. It's the mornings and evenings that are tough-right now, the mornings are the toughest of all.

A highlight is that it is currently raining! This doesn't happen much where I live so it is nice to hear the light rain out there. Since the rain often makes cars dirtier here, I'll probably need to get a car wash tomorrow. Oh well.

@JaneOnceMore Happy Birthday! And, thank you for sharing about being more accepting of your depression. I am currently working towards being more accepting of my Bipolar Disorder symptoms so it is nice to see others have done it :-)

@wildflowerchild25 back to school dreams can be brutal! I hope they go away for you soon.
