Is this something you can discuss with a psychologist?
Hang in there.

I'll have to watch how I'm feeling throughout the day. Sometimes it's hard because I'm so busy lately that I cannot even pay attention to my feelings.
For some odd reason I didn't have as bad of nightmares last night. They still involved fighting, but they were comical, cartoon-like, and I was winning. I think it could be since I watched some stuff having to do with cartoons yesterday.
I am anxious I suppose. Maybe anxious about Bipolar itself. And not being able to shake thoughts of the past or negative events as well as I'd like to. I very much fight with myself at night to not think about certain things and that very act might be what makes me anxious and start thinking "I'll never be able to stop thinking about this!"
I've discussed it with my therapist. She just says it is anxiety and I shouldn't let them get to me. I guess she is right, but it's not always possible for me. They mess up my mood pretty badly for a significant period of time. Just like good dreams can make me feel happy for a good amount of time.

Gotcha. I've been quite angry/irritable lately and stressed with college.
