I feel like an addict, I'm craving that feeling, like a drug my body produces, well use to.

I've been on lithium exactly a year and it has killed the highs.

I just feel depressed all day, some days more worse than others.

I feel like falling from a great height.

I am sorry you feel depressed. Why not talk to your pdoc about changing meds.
Or maybe before you do that you should try exercising, walking or yoga to get more energy going. I feel sad sometimes but after exercise I feel revitalized.

If you are really feeling bad enough to fall "from a great height." Don't wait, seek help immediately. If that is just a figure of speech, you should still seek help very soon. Depression is not something to ignore.

I miss the mild high - the beginning of the hypo phase (don't miss the mania though - that's just out of control).

I never enjoyed lithium much. It didn't really help stabilise my mood. But hey that's just me and my personal experience.

I felt constantly flat on it.

My pdoc wasted a year of my life by not listening to me.

So glad I'm with a new pdoc who works with me.
