My New Cocktail of Meds

Starting a new cocktail of medications I will see how my moods change. Right now after I took the meds for the first time, my mania seems to be levelled out somewhat. I will follow through with this blog and keep an update of how the moods do swing. One thing is for sure, I would rather be high than depressed. Depression so too often reminds me of what it would like to be buried alive, at least this is the emotional feeling I get from clinical depression. People often speak to me about being depressed and I don't know if they are suffering a clinical depression. Some of their depression is due to drinking too much alcohol, no doubt they are depressed, but it is because of substance abuse. I notice when I get depressed I come down with the flu and colds. My immune system is all out of order when I'm depressed. The thing about rapid cycling depression, you know the depression is not going to last long, not like others who suffer for months at a time with unbearable depression. The solution for bipolar disorder is to keep the mania and the depression from going to high or to low. It's to keep it in a balance. This is what medications are supposed to do.
