I'm doing pretty well this morning. I did pilates and used the SAD lamp & read. I have a pdoc appt. this morning. I really don't want to go anywhere; it's cold outside, and I hate the cold. I haven't been to the pdoc in 3 weeks and didn't have to call between appts., which is a long time for me since I had that severe depression in November. There was a point the pdoc had me coming every week. I really do think the SAD lamp is making a huge difference with the depression and that the increase in Seroquel has helped with the anxiety. I've even felt HAPPY a few of the days instead of just flat emotionally, without any sign of mania or hypomania except a few times of having some difficulty falling asleep (though once asleep, I have gotten a full night's sleep). That I will take; it's not so bad a trade-off.
