Mr. Cushing and Krysti--
Thanks!
You guys ROCK!
I have been giving this a lot of thought lately (as one could expect) and came up with the same conclusions...I started reading about BP and I feel better. I feel like maybe I can separate my "symptoms" from my personality better.I feel a little self-conscious still around my friends, but I've learned to just talk about it, even if it annoys them...(but not harping on it 24-7) It's been the only thing going on with me for the past 4 months...I have no gossip or funny stories because I've been a prisoner to my own thoughts and anxiety. I've definitely learned who the REAL friends are, though.
I'm no longer feeling like a space cadet.
The neurontin seems to be helping that thus far...My Pdoc upped my zoloft dose, though. I'm trying to trust his judgement. A little bit scared, though because when I was on Lexapro alone, i think I was having a nasty mixed state. So far no crying jags or racing thoughts or hyperactivity. Had trouble sleeping last night, though.Just trying to TRUST!!
Yeah, Mr. Cushing---you're right about the analyzation part. I can't stop it, so I'm just plowing through it by reading and such.Thanks again guys!
Katy
