Remission

I am happy to report remission from bp symptoms!  I've been procrastinating on mentioning it because it felt unreal considering the amount of stress in the last month.  I'm on just 600 mg lithium daily at the moment.  I have meds ready-to-go for when this remission ends.  I am hoping to enjoy it for a while.  :)

It is giving me time to notice and respond to my other disorders.  I'm learning a lot about BPD and how it affects relationships.  I hope I get a long enough break from bp that I can work on reducing the effects bpd has on my life - and the lives of people I love.

I wish you all the best.  Keep working on self-care: diet, EXERCISE, journaling, sleep schedule, meditation, etc.  When it all works together it is powerful stuff.

I am so happy. you have found freedom

hugs, Caren

Congratulations!!!

That is really great. I am happy for you. But I have a question. How does it work to drop your lithium dose? I thought you had to be in the therapeutic range for it to make difference. I have read that if you go off of Lithium, that if you go back on the lithium, there is a good chance that it won't be as effective.
I am not raining on your parade......I am just trying to get some questions answered.
