Dove, oh Do-ove...you out there?

Dove, I haven't seen you in a couple of days. You ok?

 

Here I am :-)

Good morning Noa :-)
Thank you for looking for me, I really appreciate it. Holidays rush by me like a freight train, so much to do and so little time and energy. I am feeling completely different than before, I am still taking Amitriptyline, Adderall, and Wellbutrin, and feel like I am in overdrive. My pharmacist thinks I am hypo-manic, my therapist thinks I am agitated-hypomanic or agitated mixed. All I know is that the teary-eyed depression has lifted and left in its place an angry, slightly mouthy, critical, scattered-brained insomniac. I have called the p-doc and am waiting his return call. Either way, I see him the first week in January.

So, I am here in the land of the living, wrapping a ton of presents for my five children, and trying to figure out how I am going to fit 15 people in my three bedroom house. I thank you Noa from the bottom of my heart, or the top, whichever is most sincere, for taking the time to inquire. I am still following your updates and I really empathize with your super-market misadventure, emotional melt-down. I hate getting in those situations where you feel helpless, and need to get the things done anyway. It sucks and puts a little extra anxiety on the next outing where everything isn't completely ironed-out to the nth degree.

I'll be praying for you Noa (and thinking of you), I hope the lithium starts kicking in soon so you know where to go next. My blessings to you Noa, and the rest of the beautiful psycho-babblers, I am so lucky to have you all.

Dove, I am so glad you responded.

I was thinking that "hypomanic" is probably functional for you right now, given how much you have to do. What you (and, if you'll let us, we) have to watch out for is the post-holiday "crash", no?

Be well, and have a SMOOTH holiday!
