My day started out miserable as i have several things to tackle and felt quite helpless. But it improved when i finally, after several months, got my bags and bags of donations out of here and put my storage bins in the hallway and have my pretty living room back at last, at last! It was a lot of physical activity and i feel the better for it. I'm so much happier in here now. One thing crossed off my to-do list!

I phoned my doctor to check on my disability benefits form which he has had for a week now. He hasn't done it yet. I let them know that he only has to the end of the month. That's two weeks away. I think that's reasonable. Will be so glad when that's done! Have been getting some anxiety about it. There's not much i can do tho, other than keep checking in with my doctor.

@Soupe du jour: You've been working so hard, i feel you should be tremendously proud of yourself, even if hypomania is fueling it. Our bipolar is part of ourselves and there are some advantages to it, like boundless energy. As usual, Fern's advice is excellent. I also feel your psychiatrist is over-stepping. You said he's old -- maybe he's showing his age?
