Thank you so very much for all of your comments and kind words. As you can tell, I’m not able to answer each comment individually- though I want to! I read all of them- every day.
My new meds regime is still working- the depression has been cut by about 75%. Yes, that much. When I do have a down day, it’s pretty severe which is interesting. I just wrote about it. But I’m so thankful that I finally have some relief. This is my nephew David being silly. I am astonished at how much more emotional energy I have now- I can just hang out with him without feeling miserable. He says he can notice the difference.
If I can get so much better at age 48, there is hope for everyone. I mean that.
Once again. Thank you so much for your kind words. They have kept me going for many, many years!
Julie
PS: Feel free to answer any comment- we all have so much information and can help each other in many ways. I like your advice as well!
I just discovered your website but I discovered your book ‘Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder’ years ago. It has been a great resource in understanding our son who is now an adult and I give it to any significant other who comes into his life. It is a great resource. Thanks for writing it.
Thank you Denise! Julie
Sorry to do it here, but I think someone might have hacked your twitter account. I got a direct message from “you” saying someone was making up cruel things about me, along with a link. I messaged you on twitter, but then thought if it had been hacked, you might not be able to see it…Just FYI
You are so sweet to find me out and let me know! I have about 500 followers and wasn’t able to get to all of them, but I did a few postings and the crisis is over. What a rotten thing to do- dumb spammers. I recommend that everyone change their passwords all all acounts regularly. Yes, it’s a bother, but it’s better than your accounting sending out a Tweet that says, “Hello, someone is writing terrible things about you on Twitter.” Phew! Julie
