Meds
I talked with my therapist about going on an SSRI, and she recommended Lexapro, so I'm going to give it a shot and see how it goes. The way she described it (it keeps the lows from getting too low) sounds pretty great to me. For now I've mentally committed to taking them while going through this ordeal- we'll see how things are once I'm on the other side.
In looking back through my journal though, one of the things that stood out to me is the cycle of peaks and valleys that marked my entries. It was a good wake up call that while now is a particularly rough situation, I am no stranger to feelings of depression, boredom, and restlessness. It'll be interesting to see if meds break the cycle, or cause their own set of problems.
