Okay. Not great, not terrible.
Ran into an old friend who I had previously sort-of "broken up with" because of a miscommunication leading to a misunderstanding leading to my fucked up brain taking it some kind of way- He was surprisingly chill about it and we shot basketball like we used to, then hung out at his place. It was alright. No apparent lingering resentment on either side. Kinda boring tbh, but it was better than being lonely, but also felt a bit like being lonely together. idk. Just alright.
It's nice being able to do stuff again. Lithium continues to be helpful, and I'm finding that taking a pre-emptive gabapentin before I leave the house is just the thing that needs to be done every time.
Great to hear the meds are helping. I hope that keeps going well. I have so many bipolar patients whose doctors have not figured out the meds yet, and it can be miserable. All I can do is make suggestions with deference to the doc.
I wonder if reconnecting with your old friend has some hidden benefit you have yet to see/receive - like sometimes a person who knew us a while back can have some interesting insights on our current version of ourselves. Or something entirely different, but positive. Who knows? At the very least, you know this person holds no resentment towards you, and that's got to be a plus.
May this week bring good things into your life!
