Treatment
Treatment for this is no easy task.
First there's the meds. Which would be easy except that mine tastes HIDEOUS, especially when it gets stuck on the way down the back of my tongue and throat. It takes... Well, I'm not sure what it takes to get the taste out of my mouth because I have yet to find a solution. Just know that it's truly nasty.
Next, I should be exercising at least a half an hour a day. It doesn't necessarily happen. Okay, okay, it's been a good month (maybe two) since I actually kept up with that. I used my dog as an excuse to go walking but I haven't had the time or the energy to deal with walking him. He's a strong puller and we're still working on that in training.
Then, there's the sleeping habits. Which I have succeeded in cleaning up. I go to bed at the same time every night and I consciously decide before bed that everything can wait until morning. It's working.
Finally, there is the immense task of keeping track of my behaviour and doing what I can to control the manic episodes. The depressive episodes are harder, it seems. Or least it seems that way as I write this post.
Perceptions can be misleading.

Hi--I found your blog via google. Just wanted to share a tip--coat your med(s) with chapstick or other waxy lip balm. It coats the pill long enough to get it down without the bad taste breaking through. (As long as you don't loll the pill around and tarry.) Good luck.
