I wish I wasn't Bipolar too. I have lost some friends and even some family members because of my Bipolar depression and also when manic.
I thought I was at baseline the last couple of weeks. But, I have picked fights (arguments) on social media and even with one of my grown daughters. I lost my best friend over it. So yeah, I guess I'm manic. I have to wait until next Wednesday to see my Psych ARNP. I have grounded myself from social media for a week. One of my other daughters went in and changed my password so I will be able to remain honest about my commitment. Now I am having a bit of withdrawal from not going on it. But, guess what? I've discovered there are these things called books. If you open them up they have pages with words. And, if you read those words they tell a story! Wow! I'm telling this tongue in cheek but it's really nice not to be distracted by my phone "dinging" to tell me I have a message that I have no business responding too. The book is good. I will get through this "sabbatical" if you will and I will be the better for it. As for losing my friend I hope, with time, that she will forgive me. Right now I don't know.
