I know we're a lot alike. I hope I can get stabilized on the Lithium soon and I can get Ritalin or Adderall or Strattera and maybe it'll become so much easier to do work and school. I feel so scattered all the time and it takes all of my energy just to remain focused on something for more than 15 minutes.

Being diabetic sucks, but I prefer diabetic to crazy. I know the Depakote raises my blood sugar and more than likely caused my diabetes, so I was a bit disheartened to see the docs wants to keep me on both Lithium and Depakote for at least 6 months, but I like this guy's style, so I'm willing to do what he says.
