thank you P7 and simcha and impy , you guys are my hug circle.

the lithium is making me feel really nauseous. i saw pdoc today and he suggested starting to take them at night instead so i can sleep through it. so he's written me out a new schedule to get me taking it at night. he also gave me some anti-nausea pills in case i'm feeling too crook in the morning, and he said to call him if i needed to take them because he wanted to know.

he is also going to get me on some dexamphetamine to help with my complete lack of energy. so that might be good, but at the same time it seems a bit scary. i cant find much info on it from australia, and especially not for depression.

i am doing slightly better. maybe just feeling sick has taken my mind off things, lol. i am not too hopeful that meds are the answer (or ect, as you brought up, imp) because i think a lot of my depression atm is cognitive, and drugs won't help that. anyway, we'll see, it seems. pdoc was able to help a bit today, kind of shifting my views a tiny bit.

it is my last day of work at one of my jobs tomorrow, so i'm looking forward to that. will be nice to have some time off next week, i'm so tired. but uni the week after, so we'll see how it goes. atm, it doesn't look like i can commit to it just yet.
