Don't worry -- I am definately experiencing the real deal. Not mania, but just happiness, peace and a sense of well being. I am happy as a lark but I'm not going around kissing people, telling everyone the world is a excellant place etc. etc.
My anxiety is gone -- this is excellant! All my adult life I havent had the motivation to do my washing, caring for my body etc. etc. Nardil has given me that motivation and I enjoy that stuff now! Brilliant! My Mum is more manic than me! I am washing my clothes more than 3 or 4 times every 6 months!!!!Since the age of 14 I have always been an unhappy person. In spite of my own determined psychotherapeutic strategies I had not a great deal of success. I will never give in, and Nardil is a Godsend. People have noticed I always have looked troubled, unhappy, hiding -- Nardil has turned that around. For once I am at peace with myself...
