"i have been on lithium for a week and i already feel great. grounded in the world and clear headed. 

i no longer feel i am trapped in a daydream/nightmare. 

i have no side effects apart from slightly dry lips and this drug will save my life, i have already deferred several decisions to end my life in the hope that i could find a cure for my bi polar (once at 19 and again at 34) and i am glad i did as i think i have found it. i guess this is how it feels to be normal. 

i now feel that i can partake in the world rather than being caught in an endless battle of bi polar 2 rapid cycling."
