one of the things that had begin to worry me was the frequent sightings of something moving in my peripheral vision. i figured it was because I was paranoid about mice after my last encounter with one shortly after getting Katie. But when I realized I had already been having one form of hallucinations (feeling like something is crawling on you--which I have had sporadically for YEARS) I figured that I had better go see the eye dr to rule out vision problem and then tell my pdoc.
but since i started the mood stabilizer, i have noticed a decrease in the frequency of thinking i saw something move.
i did a lot of reading last night about bipolarism. while the dr. hasn't formally said he thinks i am, his treatment plan to get me stabilized seems to closely follow the treatment plan for stabilizing a bipolar patient. probably bipolar 2 or cyclothemia--in both you exhibit more depression than mania and mania is not as severe (hypomania). i may be either a rapid cycler or mixed state.
unfortunately if that is true, then the long term treatment i got with prozac may have done more long term harm than good. but it was a life saver when i got it so i can't really complain.
well i think the a.m. nausea is passing so i will get ready to go to work.
