I saw you post your "hi" on the check in, so I know you are lurking!!! I miss you...how are you doing? Did you get my new phone number through email??? I sent it a while back.
Call me!
If not, let me know and I will resend it.
Love you,
Keli

I tried to call you at the number in the email and its disconnected (the 3317 number)so you can email me the new one. Things are going okay. Around the end of May they were REALLY bad, I actually begged DH to admit me, but he wouldnt. My pdoc was changing my meds like every week, and I cant deal with that crap. All in all about a month ago she FINALLY put me on Strattera because I was failing my classes because I couldnt focus enough to read the material....which I had been telling her for months. She took me off the Paxil completely and then readded 20mg later. So now I am on 1200mg lithium 200mg lamictal 20mg paxil and 30mg strattera and it works great! I am a bit hypomanic most of the time bc of the strattera and paxil combo but thats wayyyyyyyyy better than supermanic or depressed. I still get a little depressed but its usually bc I missed a dose of my meds. We moved on the 7th, that was a nightmare. We are living in these new apartments, they are basically an attempt at redistributing the inner city poor across other parts of the city, DH calls them "pretty projects" haha. I like it though, I mean the apartments themselves are nice because they are only a couplw of years old and the location is perfect, its less than a mile from the mosque and the kids school. The maintenance people suck and our mailbox lock is broken and has been for 3 weeks, and there are roaches.....but they are dying slowly but surely. But its a 3 bedroom for almost $150 cheaper than what we paid for a 2 bedroom and it lets DH work part time and go to school full time so its worth it even with the roaches yanno? He finally got that UPS job he wanted. Full benefits after 30 days and he doesnt have to pay in anything from his paycheck. They cover it all...with a part time hourly job....its awesome. The kids start school next Monday and luckily most of their clothes from last year still fit so they only needed new pants and shoes and I checked online all summer to get the cheapest deal. 10 pairs of Chinos for about $100 and now they are selling them full price for $25 a pair. We got the Florida Pride in addition to a school scholarship so we only have to pay $850 this year instead of $2000 we had to pay last year...so thats awesome. Anyways I am babbling like crazy. Call me after 9 k?
Love you too
Rebekah
Hey!!! The phone is back on...we had some money issues this past month...so, call me anytime!!! I'll be at mom's tomorrow and wednesday, so you won't be able to get me there...but i'll be around tonight, and then the rest of the week.
I'm so glad you posted...i always think the worst...
As for the meds, I am finally on a good a/d...Lexapro...had to increase it, cuz of deep depression, but since then, I too am pretty much hypomanic all the time...and I totally SO agree with you...its better than depressed.
Talk soon.
