Out of the darkness

I just had the thought - a lot of times, my illness is akin to life above the Arctic circle. I get 24 hours of darkness, followed by 24 hours of sunshine. Repeat.

I have hopes that I am slowly climbing out of the depression - I have a little more interest in my usual interests, I have a little more brightness in my day. I feel a lot more comfortable handling a mania than I do a depression - enough lithium will make any mania calm down!
