So, might be trying this on for size

Well, my cardiologist vetoed Seroquel due to my heart defect. That also disqualifies lithium and many of the other bipolar meds. I've started on Abilify and tapering down on the zoloft in case that is actually making things worse. We'll see how this goes.

So, I got my taxes done on time. And then I did my taxes for the two prior years that I had felt too overwhelmed to even do. Then I worked on my budget, which I've been trying to get myself to do for several months. Then I sorted my mail, which I also normally dread.

Perhaps this Abilify thing will work out.

You can figure out if you're bipolar or depressed based on your rejection sensitivity. Please read and research.

"The team found that rejection sensitivity was common in patients with unipolar and bipolar depression regardless of current mood, but patients with bipolar disorder were more likely to have heightened rejection sensitivity when they were depressed."
