I actually cried. She looked very sympathetic. I know I dog on her a lot, but she is really nice. Perhaps I'm secretly bitter about having to go. Nah. I just get annoyed with Front Desk Debbie, and it is a hassle and pretty expensive. Never mind.
Here we go. Diagnosis: mixed episode. I got depression and mania going on at the same time. No wonder I've got everything screwed around. (I'm thinking of a lot of undercover swears that would anger my mother. Like bass-ackwards and fit hitting the shan.) We are adding two new meds. One for depression plus another mood stabilizer to prevent the anti-depressant from pushing me into mania. Trial basis of course. It's basically educated guessing. Or scientific process if you prefer. Boils down to me being cranky, paranoid, blue, frustrated with myself, no self-esteem, restless, hyper-caffeinated, and fatigued with weird sleeping and eating patterns. (I was about to type "Like you people care. I sound like an old person listing off my aches and pains. Sorry." But I guess that sentence defines itself as well as most symptoms listed above. Sorry.)
The upside is that Shrinky-Dink was actually wearing a heart dangle ring. Along with nine (9) other accessories. I counted. She has changed to a new decorative pattern on the laptop. It's not as glam. Huge earrings. I think I saw Bea Arthur wearing the same ones on Golden Girls last night. Plus, and this is amazing, she was ON TIME. Shrinky-Dink, not Bea Arthur.

I am so sorry that you don't like going to the doctor. Who does?!? And I love how you compared your list of symptoms to some old person. ;) I hope it all works out.
And you jewelry story made me laugh out loud! I miss you!!!
I know how important meds are and getting the right ones at the right time. I hope this works for ya.
I love when you talk about the shrinks wardrobe and accesories - too funny. Maybe we should all take fashion tips from her! The jewelry industry would love us.
the accessories concern me, I'm not going to lie.
hope the new combo works for you though...
school is about to start!
I
am
in
shock.
She is NEVER on time! Is she on meds? Finally?
First of all, we totally care.
Secondly, I hope these drugs help you. Third, I think I had a dangling heart ring when I was 12, and fourth, I totally want to meet shrinky-dink and see her house!!!
Ditto Natalee. We want to hear all about it. You've got a whole fan base goin' here so let it all hang out! Plus, I heart stories of James Avery dangle rings.
