Heh, Nancy. When I first read:
"OK I am sorry I lost my temper. But that is the nature of my illness."
I got all bent out of shape. "We all have troubles with our moods - it's no excuse" I said to myself. (Keep Reading!!!) --
But then, I was supposed to have a prescription filled today that was the wrong script and my ritalin was running down and I was getting testy. So I thought about it some more, and it is so true, isn't it? Those of us with mood disorders, etc., are always dealing with not only the disorder but the side effects of the meds.
Boy, do I get angry sometimes b/c of the Ritalin half-life. Also, all AD's did this to me. But we have to keep going on, don't we? And it's really tough.
That's why I wish we could have little faces, emoticons, etc. not only to explain our characteristics (most of the time) but also how we're doing that day, hell, at that moment.
Thanks for letting me know you were "out of sorts". I will try to recall not to use "newbie". oops, i just did. ;) neener, neener...
