Phil,Been keepin' my eye on you! Other comments in other threads, too, like, when you're depressed, all you want to do is read books about depression... Me too! I need to read the Noonday Demon book. I saw it in the bookstore, it's still only out in hardback, I think.
(Also: the Starbucks being in the Starbuck's bathroom... hahaha, funny.)
Anyway... How did the pdoc appointment go the other day? I'm very interested, because I've been reading about Provigil, and wondered if I should be on it for mood brightening. I've been sick for the last few days, so that only makes me want to dig deeper under the covers, and sleep the days away. I've never been on Ritalin, but often wondered about myself and ADD, although I think my concentration problems just have to do with BP II and depression.
Let me know how the appointment went -
Wendy
ps: weird thread about cyanide posted by stjames, huh? as of now, he still hasn't responded to everyone's demands that he explain. I crossed myself, just to be safe.
