oh my fellow monkeys, where do I start?? ONE: Before I posted a "curious george" I did a little archive search and came upon this thread. my CG question was going to be whether anyone knew of any good depression message boards. the few I've run across have either been too "out there" or so inactive as to be nearly dead. TWO: I've been taking Lexapro since Nov 04. I've been taking zoloft, wellbutrin, and celexa since 1996. i've got a pretty good history of poopout. I started my lexapro at 10mg and loved it for about 6 weeks. started to level off, my shrink upped me to 20 (about end Dec/early Jan). started to poopout out again about end of April. Now I'm taking 30 mg and it kind of scares me. I can't say that it's working all that great, but it has been raining here for the last 10 days and light is a big thing for me. can you tell me more about the manic part of your bipolar?? I've thought that before but my "highs" are not so high but there is a definite "swing" there that seems fairly dramatic to me....
other than that, as much seclusion as I can possibly scrounge together is the only way I get through it. KNOWING that you're doing it is the worst part though...I mean how do you explain to your six and nine year olds why mommy is being such a bitch and it's really really not their fault???
I find that a martini (or 2) every afternoon around 4 (er..3??) helps immensely, particularly if you have children that start to become overwhelmingly demanding at the dinner hour...cereal for dinner anyone???

I may be a little late with this response, but having a little stain factory of my own, I have recently discovered the wonders of club soda. Much better than baking soda, particularly on carpet, ahem...Remember this when your little wonder starts potty training. Pour it on (alot), let it fizz and soak for about 10 minutes, then blot up as much as you can.
oh my....people have WAY too much time on their hands....
