> Hi again. Can you tell me what it feels like when Li kicked in?Yeah, it's hard to believe that it's actually only been about 3 weeks since it *kicked in*. Basically, I just noticed that I felt much less agitated and aggressive, somewhat less irritable, more calm and stable. It seems like my mood is more constant and there's less lability (ups and downs a hundred times a day). In terms of depression, I'd say that my mood is a few notches up, not great, not *happy*, but somewhat improved. And like you said, I'm not suicidal every single day. I still think about it, but it doesn't feel quite so much like I need to do it, like life is completely unbearable.
> Yup. It never ends. Still, I'm not in the horrible place I was about two months ago.
Yeah, that's how I'm looking at it too. I know things aren't perfect, probably never will be, but at least I have a starting point now. At least it seems now like there is some hope. And when I think back, it definitely is better now than even a month ago.Good luck to you too.
