seroquel is some nasty shit. I advise you to get off it as soon as possible. (When I was on it I knew it was bad for my heart and then I heard about possible connections between it and heart problems)

More like I'm glad this paradigm shift has worked for you. I mean, you're all "I've fucked up my life" and all, but hell, I'd look at how damn hard things have been for you pre-diagnosis (ie, pre-being-able-to-do-anything-about-it).
You're right that it makes a lot of sense, though. I know you always thought you were below the diagnosis threshold... but this *really* explains so many of the problems you had, even just in your sleeping hours and your eating patterns, for a simple start.
I'm still in Cambridge, but I come back intermittently - we could meet up for coffee. It'd be good to see how you're going. Do you still keep up your music?
It would be good to catch up whenever we have the chance...
I haven't really kept up with my music. What made me realize I was totally and utterly bone-crushingly depressed and made me try and get some help was that I hadn't touched the guitar for over a month. On a lithiumated stable mood my head is just full of music (mostly other peoples unfortunately for me) which probably isn't very useful but is a very nice difference from the roller-coaster mood stuff...
I guess I just gotta remember that today is the first day of the rest of my life and I gotta keep moving forwards one step at a time.
I may be a fuckup now, but I'm going to make something of myself g'dammit.
Heh... On your side of the fence being in Cambridge must be a lot like landing on the moon for an astronaut. What's next for you?

I'd been wondering what you'd been up to these days ...
Handy hint - email my girlfriend, arkady, for general advice on this shit. She's bipolar as hell. arkady.rose@gmail.com

Been way too messed up.
I'll try to remember to to email if I think of anything... My memory has always been shite and the lithium isn't helping in those regards.
