If you are ever wondering whether or not your symptoms of depression, anxiety, irritability and impulsiveness, seasonal affective disorder, and severe PMS are more than just regular depression, SAD, PMS or ADHD, you need to read this book:
Why am I Still Depressed? Recognizing and Managing the Ups and Downs of Bipolar II and Soft Bipolar Disorder, by Dr. Jim Phelps. This is a must read if you have gone from antidepressant to antidepressant and never feel that great anyway.
My comment has nothing to do with this particular posting. But I must let you know what an answer to prayer finding your blog has been for me. I've spent the last two hours reading it. My son is in the hospital right now, for the first time in his life. The boy I said I would never leave, I left. Over the past six months, his behavior has paralized us, we are prisoners in this house. These last few days have left me feeling cheated. What has happened to my beautiful son? But just like you've written, the writing has been on the wall for years.... years. Thank you for sharing every detail, down to the meds! I needed this today more than you will ever know! God bless you and your amazing family. I'll be back.

Hi Reagan, I am glad you found this blog and I am sos sorry your son is in the hospital, but that is the right place for him right now. You need a break and he needs help. I understand the sorrow over losing the son you once had. I still mourn the loss of what she could have been. Keep in touch!
