thanks for all your suggestions.
CE my doc is really promoting exercise for me so i go to fitness center in morning for an hour or so. that's my spare time. otherwise i'm bein mama to two little ones. i do wish i had more time.
i try to do some writing. i wrote one little story. now i want to write another one. but i only have time on breaks at work. not much time at home. i spend the last 1/2 hour or even 15 min at night reading a book. im on "extremely loud and incredibly close" right now. (great book by the way.)
thanks for the insight on Orthomolecular psychiatry. i will keep that in mind...and look into it. thanks.fb. i really have a feeling that it might be induced from gabapentin. and maybe also from the stress that i'm having right now. i think i'll ride this one out. and see. i'm trying to lower gabapentin but i cant seem to. my anxiety gets worse and provoking so i need to take more gaba but i only seem to end up more loopy AND still have anxiety only slightly lessened.

what is my dx? good question. its bounced around over the years but it always seems to come back to bipolar(mixed states), or psychotic depression. I never seem to have the 'highs' people talk about. i have High anxiety and get some pressured speech and racing thoughts but i'm normally negative. or self-depricating.
am on: pristiq, perphenazineBID, adderallTID, gabapentinTID or PRN, and xanaxPRN. though i haven't been taking the xanax during day cuz makes me tired and havent taken it at night as it makes it hard to wake up to do exercises. and i really notice a difference if i dont exercise. so i guess include exercise as part of my Rx.creepy. i think you're right on. it feels very much like mixed state to me too. at times was i guess maybe not suicidal but self-hating to the start of self-harm. (thus the cars...thing).
the gaba is not meant as mood-stabilizer actually its supposed to be used for my anxiety. (as is perphenazine) but its only touching on it. and whats kinda weird is that i seem to notice worse anxiety about the time my adderall wears off, also in the late evening...any connection there?thnaks all. i appreciate.
