I had therapy and a session with psychiatrist: 

It is official from my psychiatrist:  I am Bi Polar II.  It took 1 year to diagnose because of how mild my manic state is appearing.  i still have the crazy manic symptoms.  They are just harder to read initially.  the first sign was my depression.  It is very unusual for someone my age to be in a crying fetal position

***tip for bi polar folks*** 

The time of day for medication is a huge factor in its effectiveness against this disease.  I was starting to get this level of fogginess intermittently throughout the day.  In addition I was waking up at all hours of the night without any reason.  We are moving my mood stabilizer to just the day, and one other medication to 5pm. 

So it looks like this for me

6:00am

·       60mg cymbalta ·       100mg lamictal

5:00pm ·       5mg abilify

9:00pm

·       Crestor (for cholesterol)

 

Hopefully this will get rid of that nagging fogginess that comes on & off during the day.  In addition finally may get a good night’s rest.

After speaking with my therapist I have a huge decision to do………..
