I can't thank you all enough for everything! It's so good to know that other people feel or have felt the same way I did last week.

Blackpup (or I suppose Blueoctober? great music, by the way...) in particular, you were so helpful! I always struggle to remember my moods when I go to the doctor so the mood tracker will be very helpful. Also I didn't realize caffeine could have potentially negative effects.

It's really great to be able to talk to you all about this because I don't know anyone else who has bipolar and I don't want to worry my parents (particularly my mom - she freaks out a little...) about everything.

For now I'm going to work on managing my time well (tonight was NOT good) because I don't think I would be willing to drop any of the things I do (after all, I made a commitment). I think exercise will really help kill off nervous energy. Also, because auditions are over and the parts have been cast, a lot of anxiety has been lifted off my shoulders.

Thanks again you all! I am very hopeful

p.s. thanks Payne1 for the compliment, sometimes at this school I don't feel very smart at all...
