New to the post.. looking for a way out of the fog

Hello everyone, I am new to the post but not new to BP, as I have suffered, dealt with, embraced, denied, and suffered with it all my adult life.  I am currently stablizing from the most dramatic eposode that I have endured in the past 16 years.  Honestly, it frightened me as I didn't think I was coming back away from the abyss. 

At age 47 I find myself more and more concerned with my inability to concentrate and focus and the foggy (where on earth have I been all day) periods.  I am currently medicated on Lithium and would be interested to hear all of your opinions and experiences in this regard.

I look forward to an engaging exchange with all of you.
