Mandy:
2 quick things as I run out the door:
>> I feel like a chunk of my heart is being sliced away. She was so sweet and gave unconditional love. People keep telling me she was "just a cat" but she was so much more than that.
Mandy, tell those folks (or ask your husband to) that they have no idea what your relationship to this animal was and that they need to keep their opinions to themselves. To offer support, my family mourned the passing of my "teenage years dog" for about two years (I've had so many pets...). We went through the same process a person would for losing a human relative. And I think that adding a new animal to the house, When you feel that you've grieved her passing, is the best decision.
> I should probably put this on med board, But at the IOP, I was told that I definitely have a type of bipolar disorder and trileptal was added to prozac and neurontion. Will I ever feel well again???
Seems like a viable possiblity (the dx). If you are BP, the trileptal (or another stabilizer) will be the key to your recovery. And I Really like Neurontin as an adjunct. You will feel better. Hang on.
