Thanks for the encouragement!
So when did you actually begin meds? And how old are you?
I've also been depressed my whole life practically with some hypomanic times and hypomanic/MIXED! times; but mainly depressed throughout my whole life, interspersed with mixed. I remember being in a depression questioning the meaning of life at age 10. And 14, it all fell to hell for me. I'm 33 and have ONLY recently in the past year begun addressing it with acknowledgment of and medication. Just this past summer that the bipolar dx was revealed. Currently, I'm on 100mg of Lamictal and a tiny bit of Seroquel for sleep.
The Lamictal seems to be working. However, I do get tired very easily and the "working" part is me having quite a solitary lifestyle with no drinking :-( and very minimal social interaction. Otherwise I start spiraling again. Maybe someday I can live my life like a normal person.
take care,
katia
