I haven't written in some time. I went through a pretty rough patch as I'm trying to sort out my medications. I'm now on Lithium and it seems like it is really making a difference.

I feel a sense of hope that things can be better. I don't have the dark thoughts bothering me every day anymore. That heaviness has lifted.

Work is getting easier too. I was really struggling with my interactions at work. I was finding it very difficult to call customers back, arrange appointments and perform sight visits. That is lessening as I'm on Lithium. I'm beginning to feel like me again.

My social life is improving too. I'm not isolating myself by hiding out in my apartment. I'm visiting friends and going out more which feels good. Isolation for me is one of my danger signs of depression. If I'm isolating myself it usually means my depression is ruling my life.

It really feels like I'm turning a corner slowly. The dark fog of depression is lifting and I'm beginning to feel good again.
