dyk Jennie, I am so glad that you found the NAMI group helpful! I think it will be great for you to have people to talk to who have similar experiences.
dyk at the meeting I got asked (again) if I am a nurse
dyk no, I don't REALLY understand why they ask me that -- I don't have any MEDICAL knowledge I just know about my people
dyk and then they wanted to nominate me to the BOARD of the gulf coast chapter (um, what?) but I am not an official NAMI member (haven't paid dues, etc) so I dodged that bullet
dyk I have a lot to do today to get ready to be gone.
dyk dinner, laundry (Dek had a wet bed -- did you know when we don't give him his second dose of ADHD meds -- he sometimes has a wet bed? it's interesting)
dyk he's also growing and sleeping REALLY hard after playing pretty hard all day!
dyk Abi's headphones were apparently -- at school.
dyk her teacher is putting them in her backpack.
dyk yea!
dyk Ellie's new game -- close the hallway door and then knock on it and run to the end of the hallway -- then when I say who's there and open the door -- she does Peek-a-boo lol
dyk so I know the jump in his antidepressant dosage helped that
dyk he was "up" near "good" longer, and though he dipped really fast, and then slowly came back up -- it was still 1/2 the span of time that it was previously
dyk that's his "cycle pattern" he goes quickly from mania to depression causing almost a mixed state of both symptoms then it takes a long time for him to come up from the depression
dyk so it's interesting (and I guess normal?) that his cycling within the cycle would follow that same pattern
