When I'm in the in betweens, I now try to get all my wiggles out before he arrives home.
Sigh. It is not a perfect science.

get the wiggles out! I like that. I should be mindful of doing that whenever I'm around people. I'm definitely the husband and dad that changes. just yesterday I asked my son to keep an eye out on me because of my mixed mania, and he looked me at said jokingly, "but in an hour you'll be normal, right?" that made me crack up. sometimes you can kind of joke around with your family and be self deprecating about BP.
I had a step dad when I was young who suffered from mood shifts and some days I tip toed around him so I know what you mean by "which person" you get from day to day. whether it's us or someone else.
