Seasonally Affected?

My psychiatrist believes that at this time of year all bipolars naturally want to go into a kind of hibernation -- it's only natural, apparently.

And that explains my fluctuating moods, and tears, and general lowness.

That and the fact he thinks anti-depressants really don't agree with me, so I have to come off them asap. Which doesn't help the low mood.

So instead of them I am to start on the (controversial?) treatment of thyroid hormones in the absence of thyroid disorder. Lets see what my GP makes of it.
Personally I am looking forward to it, as from what I have read I can expect an upswing in mood before the stability bit kicks in.

And anything that gets me out of this hole has got to be good.

In other news, number one daughter is doing fantastically -- looking after me was good training, it seems, for life on her own. I am pleased for her.

She deserves to shine.

I am lonely as hell.

That might just be because I am in this hole at the moment, and holes are solitary places.

Or it could be because I am alone.
