1) The feeling I sometimes get where I feel crowded, doesn't matter who it is, I just feel crowded, and just wanna be in my little bubble alone.

2) People saying of my dx: "Those doctors, it's always something" or "Everyone has to have something these days".

3) People using manic or depressed in a clearly incorrect manner, when referring to their over caffeinated selves, or their tired bored slow selves.

4) Having to try to explain how I feel to my Pdoc....I mean, I have learned to not trust my feelings cuz they can be all over the map...so it's hard to explain what I feel.

5) Having little things set off a major day long hypo-manic/anxiety state -- like even a discussion with my wife about household budgeting gets me all paranoid and anxious we are gonna run out of money and lose everything....even though I make a good amount....*shrug* -- it just happens.
Extra Credit 6) Not being able to complete any of the bright idea projects I get into my head....start with the best intentions and end as if it were a fading footnote in my long string of random ideas/projects.

Things I don't hate:

1) My Wife asking if I took my meds (cuz I always forget).
2) My wife asking if I am depressed or manic -- cuz I don't always stop to assess it myself.
3) Having BPII -- I think it's made me who I am, failures and successes and I think it has everything to do with my creative energy.
4) Being able, sometimes, to get up and get the entire house cleaned/car washed/[insert various project here] done and just focus on that solely.
5) Being able to listen to music and feel it at deeper level than some people....music can completely take me over at time.
