Thanks folks... this all sounds like me. Hypo I do a lot of the wrong thing, depression I do nothing and am drawn to laying on the couch, attempting to read but fail, internet, movies. Not much happens. Since I'm an artist/craftsman the hypo output CAN be very beneficial.. but it can also be a disaster. It's a tightrope... or a gamble.

Anyway... the treatment specifically for bipolar is new and I feel like I'm seeing a difference.. as long as I can stave off the depression. I can't take anti-depressants and I'm only on lamictal. Maybe things are working.. I just a bad, but very brief bout of depression. I'm not sure if the mood stablizer kicked that in the butt or not.. but the short duration is a good thing.

Also.. I realize that I need help with prioritizing, organizing and other means for staying on track. When you work for yourself you are on your own....
