Day 4 (But really who knows what day...)

Dear You,

You never realize how much something affects your life until it's gone. When I started taking my mood stabilizer medicine the differences were so small and so slow that I didn't notice it. But it began to work. I became happier, less irritable and more confident. I would miss a day or two here and there and I could feel a little bit that something was off but not a whole lot. This past week has been really hard with my money situation  I have none. And I have to somehow pay the rent in 2 weeks. So when I ran out of my medicine I figured I'd be fine until I can get the money to refill it, but that's a lot harder to do than I thought it would be. In the past week: my depression is creeping back in, I'm super irritable and everything bothers me, I'm grumpy, I'm not confident in anything I do and I have no motivation to do anything. After realizing how much my life has gone down hill just by not taking my medicine I asked my parents for money to go refill it and I get to pick it up tomorrow. I normally hate medicine but I have to say, I am so excited to be able to have it again and to live a little closer to normal.

Today I am grateful for the technology to create the medicines we need.

Love,
Christina
