So, I just get back from seeing my GP, she's lovely. Anyhoo, I had gone in originally decide on what anti-depressants I should start on. I have been struggling with depression for half my life and the past couple of years have been understandably worse for me. So, I decided enough was enough and I had to get treated. Well, as Dr and I were talking about the symptoms I've experienced, she casually starts asking about bipolar and if it runs in the family. It does, my nephew has it and we know my brother has some kind of mental problem.
Dr thinks I maybe bipolar, and my initial forays into the medical articles does suggest I have a mild form of it. For the past couple of years, my mood swings have progressively gotten nastier and they have occurred more frequently. So, the good Dr wanted me to read a couple articles she found for me and encouraged me to look up more on the net. And we meet again on Friday for the big talk.
**Then again, I'm highly suspicious of the drug, Champix, and I know that it contributed greatly to the mood swings. I was a particularly mean person whilst on the drug and threw out the last week's dose as I couldn't bear the bitch I was being to Hugh and Shyanne. While there are countless articles of the "side affects" of the drug, there are none (that I could immediately find) about the possibility of lingering side affects or even permanent "damage".**

A doctor that wants you to do research instead of just taking his/her word is always a good thing.
I'm pretty busy for the next few days, but let's get on Skype soon. I wanna talk to you a little about meds and stuff.

And that's what I like about my new doctor. Before today's visit she had given me a list of meds that she usually prescribed and lists of web sites that discussed them all in detail. She wanted me to narrow down the list to what may be the best option for me.
The soonest I can get on Skype would be your early evening Thursday.
I had a huge bout of self pity earlier. Just when I think I'm moving forward, Life bitch slaps me and tells me to take a couple steps back. I had even admitted to Hugh that I worry at times that this all would just become too much for him and he'd leave.
ARGH!!!
What I wouldn't give/do to be the person I was 5 years ago. :(
