That would be heading BACK DOWN....My cat stepped on the keyboard and I didn't realized she changed title.

The time change is working its usual magic. I want to sleep ALL THE TIME. And with that my mood is shifting. I am much more depressed than hypomanic and that wasn't true even 3-4 days ago. And the anxiety is building so that I think I'm more anxious than hypomanic. Which means that I'm probably looking at hitting bottom in a few more days, knowing my general pattern. Hopefully not bottom, I can't imagine going that low again so soon, but definitely low. Falling asleep is still hard but that's been true for months no matter what the mood is. But now I want to sleep all day too. I've had 2-3 hours of naps the last few days and I'm not doing anything. I've done a little housework, walked the dogs to get a little exercise, and tonight I REALLY pushed and sewed a pair of pajama pants that I took apart to tighten the elastic back up. That's been waiting for me to do it for weeks.

Mostly I want to play solitaire. For hours. Which is not typical. I inherited my grandmother's diaries and my sister wanted photos of pages from them for some mysterious Christmas project. I was taking those tonight and started reading a little and just cried.

I am so overwhelmed at the idea of Christmas shopping. I just want to give everyone gift cards. Which may happen for the adults but my nieces deserve presents. I think I have one of them figured out. 1 more to go and a good bit of sewing ahead.

I tried to communicate with someone about some information I thought he might be interested in. Somehow that got turned around so completely that I'm still confused. My communication skills can be bad when I'm out there but this apparently was a huge set of errors.

Stupid seasonal affective disorder combined with stupid bipolar that doesn't know when to quit.....Oh well. It is what it is I guess.
