I have been able to handle my Bi-Polar Disorder pretty well for the last few years. I have a good cocktail of meds, a stable living situation and finally have insight enough to know when I am swinging but the last two months or so are wearing on me. I, like Bnslmom(sp?), bought a barn of a home on a manic swing and jumped in head first... I wore myself out both psychologically and physically and now I have got little done in months. It's bad enough that financially things are tight which makes getting materials hard but now I can't get myself motivated to do even small jobs. I have the skills but little ambition. This wouldn't be so bad but I have a wife and a child I need to think of and need to get this place in better shape before winter hits. I go over all the projects in my head I need to get done and I can't get motivated to do any of them, even the easy ones. I need to go to bed but for some reason I have a hard time psychologically going to bed before 4 or so in the morning. I think it stems from the fact that I have to deal with fewer people in my day if I sleep half of it. Thanks for the ear PC. I will check back in later, by which I mean tomorrow as I am going to try to get some sleep at a reasonable hour so I can get stuff done. Night.
