What's your dx. . if you don't mind my asking?
The Art thread was interesting. . .but I'd hate to say how much my art depends on the right meds in the right balance. I've worked at therapy twenty years, just as ardently as I've pursued the biochemical end of things. . and the spiritual as well.
And it's come down to meds. For me. While I was on Zyprexa, for the first 6 months of this year, I assembled my novel again, got an editor. . .and since I went off it. . .God, I don't want to discourage anybody, but this is my truth, one person's situation, it has been lying here a few hours of revision, literally, short of going to my agent.
I'm not helpless. I am ill, and I am struggling to put together a med package that works. . .for the umpteenth time. Further complicated by the fact that part of my dx is also where the wonderful writing comes from! Giving up all my "madness". . just isn't in the cards. It would be the same as dead.
Much amiguity, and in the end, we have to chart our own course.
