Hey Katia--
Yup--I hear you loud and clear about the friend support/understanding issue. I had a friend who kept suggesting that I stop my meds (even though she knew I had just been diagnosed bipolar---AND SHE"S A FREAKING PSYCHOLOGIST!) It really helps to have someone objective, friend or not to believe that there is something chemical and physical going on, and that it needs to be corrected (first and foremost) with meds. With time, I'm sure you'll find that someone will understand this beyond your doctor. Not everyone in the world is a sh*t-head!
You know--I'm a '4' on the Enneagram scale, too!! My friend who helped me (through the suicidal crud) is a '4' too. I forget what my "wings" are, though. I haven't read any of that stuff, but my friend "diagnosed" me as a #4. I'd say it fits like a glove.
Lithium is ok, i guess. I'm nowhere near a blood level to tell if it's working or if I'll tolerate it. I'm having these weird salty burps...eeeew!
I'll keep you posted.Katy
