Today was, I'd say, the second day in a row I've spent in bed. Not really depressed but still very much a lump on a log .The fact that I could ask myself if I was depressed or is something wrong (with no answer). . . means this litium could be working ! But O-my-gosh it will be a journey to get used to being bored , and (hate to say it) more normal.
But I'm not even up to the full dose and although my partner has noticed some slight positive changes. . .I'm wondering how much of myself am I going to miss by the time my dose has doulbled.Do I really want to suppress or sacrifice some of myself in order to interact better.
I am into sketching, painting, and writing too and I so hope that I don't loose the want to do those things.My pescribing doc did not put me on anything for sleep, but only because I stressed how important my quite time is...but if there comes a time I loose that out-let I may as well sleep forever.I already let my talent slip a little.And hey, many great artists were/are crazy right.
