My appt with my pdoc tonight

Well, my parents have been involved in my treatment for about four years now (with my permission) since I live with them. My Mom called my case manager yesterday because my parents feel that I am walking around like I'm in a fog due to the lithium that I just started about a month ago. I don't feel that way, but everyone including my pdoc thinks it's best if I come into see her today. I have been battling mild depression since the week before Christmas. I've been putting up a front with everyone like everything is okay, but it's not. Not in the slightest. I've been acting happy when really I'm not. Well, wish me luck! I'll keep you updated. Take Care, Jena

Jena,


Putting on the "mask"and acting like everything is okay is very common for us, sometimes it´s almost second nature, but thankfully your parents know you well enough to recognize something is wrong.
