Another Day

I don't have much to say today, but thank you all for your kind words and support these past few weeks, they have truly helped. I've been on my new medicine for a week and think it's helped some.

I added a bunch more blogs to my list of blogs I read, I still forgot to add mom's, I need to do that now.

Official

I went to my psychiatrist this morning and he gave the official diagnosis of Bipolar I. I'm not entirely sure what the differences are between type I and type II, but I plan to read about it when I have the time. He put me on Lamictal and Abilify. It was $50 for a one month supply of both, it could have been a lot worse, but I'd rather them only be $10 each. He said it would take about 3 weeks to tell for sure if these meds will work or if we need to change it up a little. Pete and I have our first counseling appointment on Wed. evening too, so hopefully a combination of therapy and drugs will help me feel better.
