It was a bright sunny day and i felt the sunshine calling to me. I astonished myself by going in to my mental health drop-in. We had a nice time laughing and joking around and talking about music and playing cards.

It's occurred to me that the recovery movement is pretty cool. We may be a bit of a motley crew but we're all urgently trying to live better lives, and united in our struggle.

I felt pretty sick from all the activity early in the day, but i came home and rested and feel better now. My eyes sting from the sleep deprivation but overall i'm happy that i actually left the neighborhood for the first time since Winter started and that it went so well.

@Mountaindewed:

We're all different in our reactions to medication and i am certainly no expert. But i find Wellbutrin very energizing. It induces hypomania in me. One time i took it and it worked within days. Another time it took a few weeks. I find it a very powerful medication and one that i plan never to take again. Hope your experience is more successful!
