Sar:
I think your decision is wise.
Have I been able to merge these two selves? No, I haven't. I thought medication would do this, but I find myself still waking up a different person each day. Some days I am extroverted, brilliant and motivated. Some days I am introverted, dull, and frightened. I suppose there is less of a swing b/c of the Depakote - at least I am more aware of what's going on (except when really manic).
They say that bi-polars have these "episodes" (depressive and manic) and then are "normal" in between. I have never felt "normal" in my life.
I watched Biography - Jessica Lange last night, one of my favorite actresses (despite King Kong). When she played Francis Farmer, she made a comment along the lines of "I don't want to become what you want me to be."
"And what's that?" says the deep-throated doctor.
"Boring, regular, Normal."
