I hope it isn't the post-holiday blues (for us stateside folks).
Thought I would take a moment to share my good fortune. I have now strung together 5 good days in a row. While I continue to struggle with a lack of energy (mainly caused by the meds, I believe), my mood continues to stay even keeled. Not even much anxiety, which tends to be ever present, even when I am doing well. I of course believe it has to do with a recent med change. And of course am skeptical it will last. But I am trying desparately to just enjoy it. And not worry about tomorrow. As I have shared a little in a few of my posts, this good spell is coming on the heels of a really dark time in my life - one of the worst. The threads that many have been sharing about wondering if they should go on, can go on - I so relate. Today I am glad I made the choice to do so. I still greatly doubt that I can make it through any more black nights. But maybe if I get lucky enough to string a few more good days together, I will get strong enough to weather another storm.
My goal is to share my blessing I am having with you - I "hope" I have done so.

AKC, great! I am glad you are able to enjoy the improvement.
I found that it wasn't a straight road up, though, and gradually learned to not freak out if I had some low days scattered among the good ones. The bad days eventually get more infrequent.
I, too, am glad I stuck around, and glad you did, too.
Take care.

you pretty much wrote exactly what I am going through. exept I am on 5 1/2 days. I am letting myself off the bad 1/2 day- 2 keep faith in meds. lets try to keep the good days and gather strength 4 the bad days. I do empathise with your feeling of survival of the bad days, after such a low point I feel like I neither have the energy or inclination to fight of the hounds of hell so to speek. keep safe
