First of all, congratulations Tina! I'm so proud of you!

Hello to everyone. I haven't been here regularly in a long time. But I still read from time to time to catch up with how everyone is doing. I've been okay...not as stable as for the last few months. I thought maybe I was "better". Tried to go a month without meds. HA! Never ever ever try this at home! :)

The mood swings came back in full force...at the same time, my dh had to go out of town to help a friend and I was a MAD woman. Needless to say, I got both rx's for Lithium and Lamictal this past Friday and I feel sane again.

Lots has been going on with me...work is SLAMMED busy. But I totally love it. I've had so many people that I work with/for tell me how amazing the change in me is. I don't ever take stability for granted, and I never will. It can "leave" at any time.

The one thing I realized during my month without meds is that I am still in control. Before, I was so nuts all the time that I didn't have any control over anything...but that isn't true. Its up to me.

My son is still working and doing really well. He is almost 17 now and will be getting a car in the next few months. He'll be in 11th grade next year. He's not been medicated for ADHD/EOBP in years. I'm really proud of him.

I've made so many changes in my life that even I get astonished sometimes. I am proud of myself...those of you who knew me years ago know how bad things were.

Well, I just wanted to say hi.

Hugs to all,

Keli

Keli,


I am so proud of you too. That wasn't good going off meds but we have all been there. I am glad you went back on them and are back on track.


I am glad DS is doing so well. I bet he is so excited about getting a car. They grow up so quick.


Thanks for checking in. I have been thinking about you often. E-mail me anytime. I know you are super busy at work but check in when you can again.


Love you and big hugs!! You have come a long way baby !!


Tina

Hey Keli. I don't hang around here too much these days either but I remember you from "back when." I just wanted to say hi and I'm glad things are going so well for you. I tried to switch meds recently and had a rough go of it. I'm back on the old ones now and things are getting better.

Hey stranger, it's good to have you back, been wondering if you were doing okay and just hoping with fingers crossed that no news was good news.


Glad you're back "on the wagon"--BTDT, always seems like such a great idea at the time doesn't it-LOL!
