Last night was the first time in a month when I had a full night of sleep. Now I've been waking up at 8AM instead of going to bed at 2 PM. Don't have a lot of people to share with but I'm not sure how to describe how I feel. It's like the absence of a headache I didn't know I had. My body feels much lighter and energetic. Hopefully I'll get back to cooking for myself this week!

I had a terrible time on antidepressants, but that's because I'm bipolar type 2 and they don't work on us. Instead I got a mood stabilizer and naltrexone for the anxiety disorder, and I'm like a new person. Naltrexone is actually incredible, it's usually used for alcohol abuse but it worked super well for my anxiety and I'm so different now.

Anyway not to make this about me, just sharing your feelings that it feels great to improve so much. I'm glad for you OP.
