bipolar disorde
"After years of just dealing with what my ever-fleeting groups of friends called "moody-behavior" (I never seemed to keep friends more than a year). I decided to get therapy, but cognitive behavioral therapy, my therapist kept hinting for me to see a psych and get medicines, at least for the depression. After months of pressure I relented and decided to just see my GP and ask for anti-depressants. Needless to say they didn't work and made me feel distant yet anxious, constantly anxious and at the ready. I waited to see if my body would adjust, it didn't. I quit. I reached out to a recommended psych and was given a script for Lamotrigine, as I went up in dosage (to 200mg) I started to notice that life made sense. It was/is a NEW DAY."
