Hi Chloe,
Well, I think I'd better stay away from the stuff. At least for now. The only possibility would be a micro-dose, but I'd have to hash it out with my doctor first.
I escaped for a few days to go visit friends. My mood was much better being away from home. I guess my ambient stress level isn't doing me any good. The medication does a lot, but a more settled life sure would augment things. Dunno about job yet.
I'm sorry to hear your situation is worsening. Having the distorted thoughts sounds frightening. Good luck with the Li. It does seem to be the one thing that always works for you. May your scalp stay happy. I forget - are you taking anything else?
I need to follow your good example and start running again myself. Does some of your rage simmer down when you run?
take care,
Emme> I hope you are managing ok without the Nalt. That sounds like a strong drug. Is it something you could use prn when you feel the need to cut?

> I have become quite destabilized. All my exuberance at the beginning of the month has turned into a rather psychotic agitated rage. I am furious at some workmen that didn't do the job they quoted to me. And they are hounding me for the money. But I don't think they are being scrupulous. But I am not sure I am thinking straight. So I am taking out all my rage and frustration on everyone close to me as I try to figure out what is REALLY going on.

> SO, since I can't take AP's (that I desperately need!), I think I have to bump up the Lithium. (I am hoping I can do this now, since I have added 1+ TBS Flaxseed oil to my diet. My scalp pain/burning is getting better!) That is the only mood stabilizer of the three that helps with my psychotic thoughts... I get so scared when I can't trust people. Spring is a really hard time for me. I am so confused and I was so angry today, but I just went for a run and feel a little better.

> I am rambling. Did you get the job? I hope so. How is the Lamictal increase going?
