ahh yes ... i think you said you were one of those people who has been stable for a long period of time... so you forget what meds do for you? ... i sincerely hope one day i can be in the same situation ...... i dunno about doctors... my doc suggests that i am being a hypochrondriac reading up on all the possible different disorders i could suffer from and worrying myself... but really i find it very comforting to diagnose myself with a disorder -- because it seems to indicate that there is a treatment (as opposed to neverending suffering)...
... i wonder how appropriate it was for my doc to put me on an AD without performing any type of blood/endocrine/hormonal test first ....

The stress must be crazy.... lawyer doesn't sound too bad.... work 3 hours a day, have someone come into your office and ask you how to fill out a form, and then charge them $200 .... i am seriously considering becoming a lawyer myself, but who knows what my personality will be like if/when i become sane
