Finally after months of begging my pdoc to take me off the lithium. I'm off. He spoke with my T about it and she told him about the group meetings i'm pressed into going to on monday evening. He had me promise him i would attend if he took me off. But said if i skip out on it, he's going to put me back on the lithium. So what i didnt want to do i have to do. And what i wanted happened.

I need some hoorahs to keep me going. Cause this group meeting scares the **** out of me. Makes me so paranoid and stressed.

Thank ya'll so much. I'm so happy to be off of it. I feel like it never helped one bit. And made me gain so much weight.

The group therapy meetings. Hmmm. Well basically i don't like talking in that type of setting with people i dont know. But there is one person i do know and we have mutual friends. That makes me even more awkward. Everyone made the promise that what goes on in there stays in there. But you never know. I'm a private person in real life. I know im not here, but thats different.
