and I stopped dancing.
which means the lithium is working--sadly enough.hypomania is the hardest disorder for any patient to treat.
Thanks for your responses Mark H., michael, Noa & Judy
I'll take all your suggestions into considerations. Actually, after reading them I started exchanging my caffeinated tea for herbal tea--and managed to drink about 5 water.Mostly, it's about bad habits.
Secondly, I am addicted (probably BADLY) to caffeine. I'm pretty certain I have ADHD that am undergoing psycholgical testing for right now.Which brings me to that studid pdoc I'm seeing. I would have switched him long before but I'm not certain how long I will be living here.
I know I am not going to test positive (for his test anyway) for the ADHD because I believe there is still alot of prejudice surrounding who gets diagnosed with ADHD.
*aggressive little boys & girls (or people who were once this)
*bad studentsI wasa 'gifted' student. Which for me doesn't disclude ADHD.
My equation for what often makes a gifted students are ADHD + no learning disabilities + ADHD with the ability to hyperconcentrate + relatively bright anyway + loves to learn.I'll just wait for science to catch up with me on that one.
I will make an appointment with my gp to get another psychiatrist, and ask her for a blood test. thank you again, Janice
