Not Coping

[Blackbird11]

It's ok to cry, let out all that emotion. You are safe, and you matter 🤗

But it hurts @Blackbird11

I hear you @Birdofparadise8 sometimes you got to ride the waves.

[Birdofparadise8]

A very long wave, I might say @Blackbird11

Hi @Birdofparadise8, I didn’t realise mood stabilisers were used for depression. I’ve just been resting up. I hope your day goes okay

[Birdofparadise8]

Hey @creative_writer 

Yeah, I didn't know either. I'm assuming we are talking about the same one (L).

I think my Pdoc wants my blood levels at 0.6ul. What do you have yours at? 

[Birdofparadise8]

I'm assuming your on it as well 're on it as well @creative_writer 

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey @tyme 

Did you get my reply to your email?

How has your day been? 

I've been crying and hating myself. I've just been to Ringwood at a shopping centre, and I am going to a cookie shop. I hope I won't crash when I get back to the hospital. I also had a blood test this morning for the new mood stabiliser I am on. Did you know they can be used to augment antidepressants? 

[creative_writer]

@Birdofparadise8, I don’t take the L one. I take the one that is also used for migraine prevention. They have a blood test for mine too because there is an optimum level but it doesn’t need to be done too often

[Birdofparadise8]

Ah okay @creative_writer 

I have a bit of a tremor in my fingers which is annoying I hope it goes away. I've told a nurse this morning and she will let my Pdoc know. 

How are you today?
