Missy,
Thank you for thinking about me. I am extremely bad off right now. I had an exam today that I never studied for because of how the last few days have been. I studied four about four hours this morning and had a hard time with that, then I went to take the exam, I just finished. I failed. The highest possible grade I can recieve on the test is a 47%. It was two parts and the second part was so hard and I was so confused, that I couldnt even answer the questions, so that was a little more than 50% of the test. I did very well on the first part though. I also have a very high grade on the first exam so my overall grade is a C in that class right now. I am hoping the next exam will not have 50% of the test that is math, then I should do okay on it too. I am very upset and frustrated about the test, so I am not sure how I feel otherwise.

I called pdoc this morning to see if they got my lithium level back. She said it should be a 1.0-1.4 and my level is 0.5 and I am taking 1200mg of Lithium everyday....she wanted me to drop down to 900mg but I seriously doubt that will happen now. SO overall I am hating myself and life and want to just say f it and not even bother with anything anymore, but realistically I know thats a stupid idea. Ugh

Love you
Rebekah

Why would your lithium level be so low if you take 1200 mg everyday? Sorry if this is a dumb question. They won't lower it now right? Are you taking an ad too? Could you? Did you tell your pdoc exactly how you were feeling?

Hugs. I wish I could do more for you. I have so been where you are and know how much it sucks. Know that I am thinking of you. Love you.

I have no freaking idea why my lithium level is so low taking that dose. Pdoc says the theraputic dose for lithium is 900mg, but I guess thats not true for me. I stopped taking my a/d because it cost too much and I didnt have insurance, still dont actually, I dont get depressed too much, only like every 3 months and it lasts for like a week or two at the most if something triggered it. Usually its only a day or so...so I didnt worry about taking an a/d, but DH thinks I should take one again, so I am going to ask pdoc about it. I think part of the problem right now is PMS and I think I am getting sick, I feel sooooo crappy and its not depression today, its just gross. I ache and am super tired and feel like I have a fever, and its stinks. I have a paper due tomorrow but I think I will email the professor and tell him I am sick and ask him if I can turn it in next week sometime. Hes pretty nice so I am sure he will be okay with that. SO thats the short of everything.

THanks for listening to me
Love you too
