> I'm back, I'm outta bed, I'm in work... blah. My 25th birthday is Saturday and I think it's really getting to me. I know I know, 25 isn't old or anything, but this is the first birthday that is really bothering me... weird... I know... but bothersome.
Not weird at all - I'm now 27, will be 28 this year, and it creeps me out! 25 was a big deal for me, though not necessarily in a good way, but I am trying to think of it this way - I've survived another year! Amazing, but I survived... :-)
Anyway, happy birthday early!
>I think it's got to do something with being off my mood stabilizer... <sigh> i go to the pdoc tomorrow and see what he says... I have a feeling I'm going to be going on Lithium... and that scares me. Ugh.
Don't let it scare you - my pdoc swears that Lithium is by far the best in the way of mood stabilizers, and I suspect that I may end up on it at some point. He said that it's quite effective and safe as long as you take it properly - he recommends taking it about 1/2 way through a meal, to help with bowel problems it may cause. He also said that he thinks Lithium has gotten a bad rap because people remember old Aunt Mabel who was in the nut house back in the day and she seemed drugged out of her mind - and they connect it to Lithium. He said the likelihood was that it was thorazine, not lithium that made her doped-up.
Anyway - if it works, then it works. and that's a good thing, right?
Again, glad you're back, and glad you're feeling better. You were definitely missed!
