Thanks, everyone.

Yet again PC is here to remind me I'm not such a weirdo after all, just bipolar like all the other bipolar people... and we seem to have issues with fall. Which is funny, because fall is my #1 most favorite season! And includes my most favorite holiday! (Halloween!) Yet it sends my brain into overload...
Well, oddly last year was different. Aweful, horrible, in the top three worst years of my life. But somehow I navigated it, perhaps because I was going through crisis... I tend to rally in crisis.... and although things are not back to 100% normal, I would say they are more like 90% normal now...
But of course I had struggles happening with my bipolar but I guess they were minimized by the crisis... The problems of course were not pointed out to me until later, because I couldn't see them happening when they were happening.
I have heard of light therapy. Oddly, late winter is always when I get relief. I'm must more focused and steady in January and February. I used to think I had oposite SADS, because I get more depressed the sunnier and warmer it is.
Here right now the weather is warm and sunny and still hot. No frost yet.
