The clouds part

In reply to what hypomania has done to me., posted by ClearSkies on January 15, 2007, at 22:21:22

It's hasn't been long real-time, but has felt like an epoch to me.
Today there is some clarity, some calm, much fear that these won't last.
I suspect that I'm past the worst that this episode had to offer.

A visit to the psychiatrist has resulted in the plan to terminate Lamictal altogether and start treatment with Lithium. As long as we take it long and slow, I'm prepared for this journey.

I really wish
that I couldn't see
all the pharmaceutical freebies in her office
the pens
the note pads
the tissues
I look at them now, and wonder - when will she suggest this one to me?

and yet
she is so very stubborn
so very bound to her studies and founded articles
that maybe
maybe
this time she will listen to me

anecdotal evidence is of no use
that's what she said to me.
I AM AN ANECDOTE.
My experiences are mine alone.
Something - makes my hair fall out
Something - makes me constipated
Something - makes me unable to remember
Something - leaves me sleepless, night after night

does it ever stabilize?
does it ever scream - "I surrender!"
Does this disease ever, ever become easier?
