Day 10 "Depressed and Sleeping A Lot"

I slept ok for the most part last night but was up until after 3 in the morning.  I was able to get up with the alarm I have set on my phone so that I could take my pills.  I have two alarms that go off everyday so that I can remember to take my pills and it’s really helping me to be consistent.  Today my energy level has been pretty low all day but I definitely don’t want to kill myself and haven’t been thinking about that at all which is great.  I think I just have to give this Lithium some time to work to be able to evaluate how it will be for me.  I’m finding that my level of irritability is starting to decrease which makes me happy.  I still do feel a little hypomanic because of the way I’ve been stressing but that too is decreasing.  I have no choice in any of this right now and must roll with the punches if I want to stay on top of my treatment and really be in charge!!!  I didn’t eat that great today but I managed to not binge and purge which I’m thankful for!!!
