I know I'm sucky at this while support thing as I know you are supposed to come here whether well or unwell. Thing is...I've been back to me for at least the last 3 months. Yes...the me I haven't seen in over 4 years. I don't foresee that changing. Thanks to God's healing, an absolutely FANTASTIC doctor and the right med combo, I am doing so well I don't know what to do myself. It feels beautiful not to be in the confusing throws of crippling depression or the lies of delusional mania. I am blessed beyond measure! Moreover, my husband and I, who were so far into the divorce process we were signing papers with our lawyers and about to start the process of negotiation, have decided to work things out and are doing very well. Exciting things are happening for me.

How are all of my friends?

This is amazing news!! I'm so happy you are doing well. And if taking a leave of absence of some sort from PC, so be it. But I'm glad you're back and things are better for you!!!

Thank you! I really don't think so. Usually even in the beginnings of mania I start obsessing over bizarre things and have at least mild delusions. Also others (notably my therapist who I am seeing but with less frequency) notice and no one has. I think I am truly safe. My bipolar took a near flawless hiatus for 7 years...unmediated. I am believing it will happen again, especially with my God-given psychiatrist. Regardless, I was shocked at first...no more tears, no more sorrow, no dramatic outbursts or embarrassing behavior...just solace. It equipped me with the strength I needed to take care of my kiddos in the midst of what could have been a nasty divorce and I am just so thankful for that.

Btw, my husband has been much nicer a and was genuinely sorry for the past. Time will tell.
