I've been away for the past week or so. I've been so stressed! My mom is all of a sudden moving to where I live (three hours away from her) and she is elderly. Trying to get all her paperwork has been ridiculous. She has never been diagnosed but she is definitely bipolar and I know I got it from her. As she has gotten elderly she really isn't manic anymore. She is still obsessive about certain things. Well, you add her obsessiveness and mine, it's a perfect storm! I was crying and hysterical last night. My husband got worried again.

I have BAD OCD about certain subjects. Mine is mostly thoughts. I just knew I had done some paperwork wrong or messed up creating an account online that she needed. Then I became paranoid about it and had unrealistic thoughts but I couldn't stop myself. I see my pdoc for the 1st time tomorrow since being put on Gabapentin. I've had ok results and I'm just hoping this episode was just related to stress and not a representation of the affects or non-affects of the med. Just wanted to update you guys. I've missed you guys!
