You don't know how much better you made me feel. I really freaked out when I started having this "conversation" with my Papa... I was so scared when it was happening- I thought "Am I officially crazy?"
I'm definitely going to talk to my Pdoc.
As of right now, I'm not going on another MS. The plan is to have me stabilize off of the Depakote, and then slowly ween off the Paxil and then get on Wellbutrin. I have ADHD as well as OCD and BPII- I'm going to see if the Wellbutrin will activate without sending me into a hypomania. It's a bold step for me, but it's long overdue for a change, I wasn't getting any better. I was so afraid to get off what I have been on because I thought I'd go crazy... I don't know where that idea came from. i guess that's just burned into my brain- that I'm only inches away from being "crazy" I have to work on this stigma thing, I know...
Thank you so much for your post. thank you for listening and making me realize I'm not alone!
> When I was severely depressed I also saw my dead father often. Quite often. He would visit me and talk to me and say things like, "We'll be togehter soon," and other things like that. I now attribute that to the depression. I know it is quite scary and you really feel like you are losing your mind, but hang in there! Sometimes it just helps to know that this has happened to others. (At least I hope it helps to know that?)
