I want to thank you for the words of support. It really does help. If I have to be on Lithium forever in order to lead a more normal life, then I will do it. This time I vow not to stop taking my meds. I decided to stop drinking yesterday (a big thing for me because I drink entirely too much) so that my body can get used to not drinking before I start the Lithium on Dec. 1. I also need support with that because it isn't easy. My dh tries to help so much but I also need support from people who know what it feels like to be bipolar. You are all a wonderful group of people.

A supportive DH (or other family) is a wonderful thing, but having somebody who knows from the inside out what you're feeling really helps--it's been a real life saver for me!
Hi and welcome! I think I missed your first post probably over the weekend and I'm sorry! I hope you got the support you needed! I am really proud of you for wanting to stay on your meds and stop drinking. No, its not easy. But you can do it. We're here to help you through it!
Hugs,
Keli
