I'm doing OK thanks to lithium. The past
year has been horribly painful, and continues
to be a challenge. But if it were not for
the lithium, the worst could have happened.
I managed to be rational and to even do well
in some projects. Had i taken lithium before
the bipolar onset 27 yrs. ago while taking the
doctorate, i may have succeeded then too.Medication is so important in enabling to
meet hard times in life. I think it would
be a good idea to introduce a mental health
class in schools for children before embarking
on life's journey.Lithium is a miracle drug, but it does not
obliterate emotions, unfortunately. But at
least you do remain human-- much more than
the state some people fall into when unmedicated.Squiggles
