After coming down from the high yesterday and some of the different responses I've gotten from people lately, I'm beginning to doubt a bipolar2 dx again... Maybe I truly do suffer from MDD, but with these few weeks a month of elevated moods?? Gonna keep on tracking though to see if this pattern continues. I don't know that I've done anything outrageous, unless you count my "constant" analysis of this. (I don't know that I'd consider it constant...although maybe it is right now. I dunno!) Anyway, all I know is a lot of things suck, but at the same time, a lot of things are good. I like this perspective as a goal towards normalcy, to be able to strike a balance between "things could be better" and "things could be worse". I feel that way right now, but last night I was feeling sorry for myself and thinking more on how they could be better. I wonder if that also has to do with my extrovertism and my need to socialize but that the opportunity diminishes at night...lately. although tonight hubby and I will be visiting my family, so there will be some socializing then. But we might not stay long and one can never predict whether it will be an entirely pleasant visit or whether there will be discomfort/stress. :/ But I guess we will find out!
