Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me though bulldozer hell. My husband certainly can relate and feels upset about it, but only friends like you all can understand how much more awful things can be when a mood disorder compounds things. You are all true friends! I'm putting your suggestions into action and am glad I've been increasing the Remeron prior to this. I'll be seeing my pdoc tomorrow and see what (if anything) he has to say about my volatility, especially during the week and a half I was without my lithium.
I think, after hearing your stories, that I have shades of OCD, but are secondary to Bipolar II and severe depressive ruminations. All of your OCD experiences have been very enlightening - and highly entertaining! When I think about my obsessing about going blind for no reason whatsoever, I just shake my head in amazement. It's hard to remember how bad it was when I'm feeling better - and vice versa! But no matter what my state of mind, I'll always get sad when I pass by a tank full of lobsters. - BarbaraCat
