I don't know.

Still manic too. Just taking my meds and avoiding alcohol and trying to get SOME sleep. Strange, my muscles all kill too. It's almost like they've tensed up from me feeling like I am going to burst out of my skin. Tada! It's me post-Predator skinning. Okay, that's my weird sense of humor.

I have touched with fire. It's really cool and helpful. I've been on page 100-109 for weeks now though! Can't concentrate. Keep rereading old paras. But they're all good. There's an index in the back with all of the writers, poets, painters, sculptors, etc. who probably had bipolar and whether they were ever institutionalized or attempted you know what.

The charts and genealogies are fabulous. I started to make one of my own on the back page. I think I'll put it into the computer as one of my projects today until therapy. Some of the studies show the most likely months when bipolar people will become manic vs. those where many become depressive. It's totally not when you'd think, especially for major depressive disorder. Without my ever having read it before, mine have mostly if not always corresponded with these monthly spikes. I'll say something on Sept 1st that I can't say here, so I'll leave you with that ambiguity.



And why were you answering 567 T/F questions? Sorry you're having such a bad spell right now. Hope you get some relief soon.
