But for some reason, this year, I had this feeling that a giant weight had been lifted and naturally had just let go of everything that troubled me from the last year. (2016 was a horrible year for me). i don't know how or why, but I'm just going with it and still doing ok so far. And by the way, this has happened in the past to be before but not to this degree. Before I'd kinda feel better for a few days, like a I broke out of a funk all of the sudden but it wasn't completely. I could function and was suddenly better and more stable but definitely came in and out of it every few days.

Interesting how bipolar people seem to be so much more sensitive to circadian rhythms. I'm glad I keep a mood chart now to be able to look back at stuff like this. This past depression was one of the worst I've had in a long time. I don't remember exactly if I've typically been depressed in the winter... but I was living in California for a long time before moving to Northern Wisconsin where the days are so short year around. There is no doubt my condition has worsened all around since moving up here. I mean... my life in California (moved there from Ohio), looking back, seems to be mostly hypomanic. So much stimulation for somebody like me..
