Day 11 "Good Day On Lithium"

Today was the best day I’ve had so far on Lithium.  I still have a lot of anxiety but otherwise I wasn’t angry, irritable, hypomanic, and I didn’t binge or purge.  My appetite is still increased and I feel like all I want to do is eat.  I’m going to try hard to get back to tracking what I eat on SparkPeople.com.  I’ve gained about 13 pounds in the last two weeks and it’s a little annoying.  I talked to two really good friends on the phone today and it felt good to converse with both of these friends.  Both friends know of my condition and understand what I’m going through.  Last night I was up late again and the Klonopin seemed like it never kicked in.  I do sometimes feel like I have less anxiety but I almost feel like my nightly dose could be the dose I take during the day and that my nightly dose could be doubled.  I took a whole pill at 10pm and it’s now 1am and I’m still wide awake….that’s how it is every day.  I was lying in bed but that just frustrates me so I got up and am on the computer.  I will try and go back to bed in a little bit.
