I think this Li is going to be paydirt since I've held out for so long. Wellbutrin is a pipedream of mine. I think it is just a hypomanic addiction thing.
So how do you do these days? Screw the meds, go out and shoot a round of golf!
I have been on disability since January. Really screwed up my job on a bad manic episode. I need to be in really good shape when I go back.
Fucked up my car too. Any thoughts on a good car?
My Maxima crapped out. Seems it needed more oil changes than my trusty old honda accord. The oil light came on and I thought I was low on oil, so I put in a few quarts as a stop gap, then the light went off and BIG smoke came out the rear (put in too much oil). Thought I was in a James Bond film trying to divert the cars behind me.oh well I'm rambling.
