Hi its been a long time since I've been on this site,
I started taking meds not too long ago back and they have been working very well. I am on a low dose of lithium carbonate and prozac and the combination seems like a perfect fit. I've noticed a change in myself as have the people around me. I have become more social and no longer walk with my head down. I even now have a new wonderful girlfriend who treats me great. At first I was nervous telling her I was bipolar(I waited until we started dating) but she was not worried about it in the least bit. I have still had some issues but have been able to keep them under control, which is likely due to the fact im on such a low dose. I like the low dose though because it allows me to still feel. I could not be happier with my life, my depression is under control, I have a girlfriend, and my grades are the highest they have been in my high school career.

And I appreciate you sharing your good news!
Life can be good for us. We just have to work harder at it.
This really smart girl told me "happiness is a choice." It's natural to be happy when everything's going your way, but when bad stuff starts happening, its easy for us to slip and fall into sadness / depression.
I was depressed/mourning for several months the loss of my ex girlfriend, and upset about how college wasn't going according to plan, etc, and frankly when she said that it just clicked with me that I can make my own happiness, and even if everything isn't going my way, I can still be happy for knowing what I have in my life.
It's seemed to help thus far, and I don't have any tormenting thoughts about my ex with other people, or crushing feelings that I will never get into 4 year university again because of my situation ... I feel a lot better now, somehow...
