I am much like you, except, I had mixed states and depression in my early and mid twenties. The last year and a half I have returned to mixed states and deprssion that are worse than ever.
For seven years I went into remission from severe mixed states and depression. The only problem was I had the invincibility thing going on and was dreaming of being a rock star for 4 of those years. The last 3 of them I was dreaming of getting back together with my ex girlfriend. It's a long story. Now I dream of moving to L.A. and trying to make it as an actor. The only problem is I am 40 percent of who I was just 2 years ago, physically and mentally.
Really what I dream about now is being able to go back to waiting tables, experiencing good work outs, having peace of mind, etc. If I can do those things, then I can pursue my other dreams.
Back to Lithium..I'm going to take it for the rest of my life. Whether it be 150 mgs or 300 mgs. There is too much evidence out there for the benefits not to take it. I am hoping that at these low doses, I will get the benefits and avoid the potential kidney and thyroid issues.
Ugh, writing is a struggle on this high of Depakote..can't think well either..need to lower..ugh
