i've been getting more and more depressed over the last two or 3 weeks and finally a couple nights ago i just went screw it and took a handful of depakote and went to bed. didn't know what would happen, didn't care. the odd thing is that i woke up the next day and felt *better*. why would that have happened?

maybe it made you sleep well, if you didn't take an OD. Maybe you actually need a higher dose??? not sure. Or maybe doing an Action made you feel powerful. Do NOT kill yourself, things do get better!

I don't know why that happened, but take care. Just because it happened the once don't mean you will be ok another time. I worry about my fellow people who have bp. bcause I care about you and others on here. Please don't do it again. Take care please.
Love and hugs always Bett.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
