Saw my pdoc today. It seems we (the latest medication) defeated the cyclic mood swings that affected me for years, so no longer deep bouts of depression. However, I was screened from perception of reality, because I was low or high depending on period, regardless of what was going on. So now I am more influenced by reality. And since my current routine is crap, I feel like crap. No enraging depression, but everlasting sadness , increased anxiety and minor obsessive episodes (a new entry).
At this point I have to put greater effort in therapy, and by all means sleep more(since I work that much, I can only get 5 hours, while at least 7 are necessary, and it is vital to be asleep between midnight and 2 AM).
Then in a few months we'll be able to esteem the final outcome of my current medication (it will be one year since I started it).
My pdoc gives a lot of explanations, I like that.
