Thanks @Kisa the tea ! So far today I've had a small glimmer of what it used to be like, I don't feel particularly sick and I have been able to do more already! So fingers crossed!

What does it help you do better, emotional regulation, calmness, no agitation? Just curious, only answer if you want.

It helps with depression for sure. Without the medication, I get racing thoughts, it's almost like having a room full of people trying to get your attention. It also seems to help with anxiety. It basically keeps your mood more or less consistent within a normal range...
