LOUSY! As I mentioned in my post yesterday, Bipolar is the absolute WORST, because your mood can turn on a dime: one day you're flying high, and the next you feel like dirt.
Like this week: I felt great on Sunday after completing a race. However, yesterday I was completely exhausted and in physical agony.
I couldn't sleep last night till 1:30, got up this morning at 5:30, and tried to work out.
Right now I'm sitting in front of my computer, trying to focus on work. My kids are home this week for spring break. Because of my irritability and inability to focus / tune out distractions, I'm feeling very frustrated and overwhelmed.
Yeah yeah, I know: count my blessings. I have 3 great (if often annoying) kids, a healthy marriage, ability to exercise, etc.
However, this roller coaster of emotions is really wearing me out.
