I would love the help! I have no problem with any of you giving me your input, or letting me know about something you pick up on that I've missed. I'm not a China Doll.

I don't think I'm hypo right now though...
I had a couple of good hours in the morning yesterday, but got extremely tired and lazy thereafter. I got absolutely nothing done outside of scooping out the cat boxes and making dinner. I spent half the day with my feet up, and needed my afternoon nap.

Hypomania usually doesn't take a day off. With MS I have good and bad days, but maybe the amantadine is starting to help, too

Hypomania is something well worth watching out for though. It really sucks that I have to be afraid of the same symptoms I'm hoping to get and that there's such a fine line there…

I have my 3rd appointment with the counselor today. I remembered that I have to bring her a letter from my husband that says I'm living a sober life. I wrote up something very simple and brief that he was satisfied enough with to sign. He's BS about the whole thing because he thinks she's treating me like a baby. I agree.
I've decided I'm not going to skip an appointment even though it's going to be a financial hardship… we have tax refunds coming to replace the money that will have to temporarily come out of the savings account. I'm going to have to pay for that session sooner or later, it may as well be sooner so I can get my license back quicker. If I keep up with weekly sessions, I can finish on the 17th. Soldiering on and having a specific end date to these sessions not so far away makes the denouement seem more within reach. But then there are more steps ahead of me to worry about before I finally get there.

I'm glad you guys liked the candles. We burned one last night. My husband was happy.. it does smell like sandalwood! It will be even stronger when we burn it some more because the fragrance I used in the wax to top off the candles wasn't as concentrated as the wax I used to pour most of it.
