Hi Katy!
Good to hear from you and happy to hear you are doing much better. I've heard great things about Lamictal, especially for the depression side. If Trileptal hadn't worked for me, I was going to try it next. That's great that you were able to get into a mood disorder clinic also! I would have if I had found one near me. It has been great to feel like myself again. I went through some icky depression times also. I hope they are behind me as well. If not, at least I know what I am dealing with and will be better prepared to get on the right track again.
I hope Kira has decided to take the medication route. We all know how scary it can be when you have to take that step. And it is true that sometimes the boards can be even more depressing because most of the people are looking for the same answers as you. On the other hand, it is also nice to hear other people are going through the same things. I'm glad I came back and found this post. I hope Kira read it. Kira - if you're reading this, let me know. I can direct you to another board also that is a bipolar board and has a lot of members who have been on the board a long time and are doing really well.
I haven't heard from Mr Cushing in a long time. Last I knew, he had a girlfriend and was doing pretty well. I should try to find his email address if I still have it and see how he is doing. Unfortunately, I haven't been on that much lately (as you know). I've been busy working on some other issues. For one, I'm going to see a therapist for EMDR. It's a newer type of therapy that I'm hoping will help me develop better relationships. I'm also getting Cranio Sacral done which is a type of, sort of, but not really, massage therapy. It's hard to explain. But, after living with anxiety for six years, I'm finding that my body just doesn't want to relax anymore! So, it is supposed to help teach it to again. Should be interesting :) Now that my moods are more even keel, figured I'd go all out and try to get more healthy all around!
It's good to know I gave you good advice. It's nice to have places like these to try to help each other :)
So, what else is up with you?
