I'm on lithium. Ask me anything, but speak slowly

1. There's a spring near the base of Pike's Peak that has...

...naturally occurring lithium in the water. I hear that it's a very calming drink.

Are you bipolar?

3. Lithium is also used in unipolar depression.

I took Lithium for about six months about six years ago, to prevent me from "taking two steps back" in my recovery from a severe depression. It helped somewhat; I did fully recover, but I'll never really know if it was because of Lithium.

6. Interesting. Glad you got better...

...no matter what did it for you. :)

5. Yes. Not the Mike Tyson kind. I just get anxiety from hell.

7. As one who had severe anxiety disorder...

...I can completely relate to that cartoon.

8. Being one with an anxiety disorder...

I hope you find what works.

Me? I live with it. I cannot get any medical assistance and I cannot afford meds.

Oh well. Such is the way of the world and this country, these days.
