Wendy:
Thanks so much for your kind words. I have wondered how you've been.
I'm dropping the Depakote dose - this has happened before, but did I recognize it this time around? No, of course not.
I can't think, I can't do anything. I'm quite suicidal.
I'm frustrated. I have tried reading old posts to see if I might fit into a different diagnosis, but it seems Bipolar describes it best. Although, my depressions have become more and more agitated over the years.
So I stop Depakote, I go into a terrible agitated depression, even though I'm taking Prozac still.
So I restart Depakote - it helps almost immediately. Within a week, I'm sinking into a deep depression again, though not agitated this time. My thoughts start to ruminate - suicide is on my mind constantly. I'm drinking more again.
Thanks - that helped to get it out! :)
I hope you are doing O.K. I read your post where you mentioned dating - that's good.
I'm sorry I didn't respond to your post re: sar - I did agree with it (sar, you listening? :)). But I also know how difficult it is to take charge.
- K
