It was Elro’s first birthday, Passover AND Easter. We had so much fun. I switched one medication to another medication (benzos) and developed a rash so I had to switch back. It was a weird, painful, rash — it felt like I was being rained on constantly. That was my only “symptom” as a person with bipolar disorder during the holidays, other than a bit of anxiety, which means the meds I’m on are working well together and I am deeply grateful for that because I get moments like these. They are worth fighting for. First ladybug, first birthday…the unicorn cookies are from Azucar in Ocean Beach and I served them for my baby shower.
