Without it

I have to go to bed, so a very brief update. 

About a week ago I decided to "try" to stop the Depakote and see how that went.  I had a lot fewer side effects... but....

Ron gave me Thursday off.  :) 

Neighbor kid did something annoying, yesterday, and I just couldn't let it go.  I mean full on scary mode obsessing about this "insult" and running them down in general (in my head only).  That.  Does not.  Please.  God. 

Today at work, still going.  Ron mentioned I was acting weird about the same time I concluded I have to go back on the Depakote.  It does a lot more than I give it credit for. 

The minute I got home, I took it.  Feeling better already. 

I hate that I am so dependent on my medication.  How awful I am, without it.
