This is my first post in this thread. I'm coming out of a nasty mixed episode, currently mostly depressed. There's at least a dozen tasks that need my attention, but I'm planning to grab some chocolate from the freezer and head back to the bedroom. Binge watching old true-crime serials sounds inviting, but I think I'll just lay on the bed and try not to think.

Mary still seems, well, disappointed in my behavior during these spells, but she's been accompanying me to all my doctor appointments. We have three coming up next week, psychiatrist, therapist, and a sleep study. She still doesn't like how I behave when I'm like this, but at least she seems to have really started understanding why all this is happening. She's tolerated me for 39 years, which I truly appreciate ( I really like the smilies here).

Well, ta-ta all, I'm headed back downstairs to hide out for a few hours. Here's wishing "uneventful" days and stability to everyone.
