I'm glad to read that things are going a little better for some here, lately. I hope that continues and that others can soon experience the same.

@Beth Rags, anxiety is a real b***ch! I'm assuming that's what is behind your recent fear of death. I have intermittent periods like that. Intermittent, at least. I hope the cause of such a fear eases for you soon.

@~Christina, does you doctor know what's causing the hallucinations? Are you in a clear bipolar episode? Or could it be something else? I am convinced that bipolar disorder can show itself in some pretty odd ways, sometimes. I know I went thought some very odd periods in the past. They did eventually pass. But the waiting is always touch. Sending hugs.

Luckily, Hubby and I are indeed relaxing today. All I've done is house tidying and a little cooking, which are feel good tasks. It's almost 24 hours after my hair was done and I'm liking it even more. It does sometimes take a couple days to really know if you like it. I went from medium brownish auburn to between light and medium brown with lightish highlights. Next time I'll ask for more light highlights. The stylist suggested doing so gradually, to avoid hair damage.

We'll be heading to the Slovak mountains in about a week. I already created my packing list. Besides packing, all that needs doing is laundry. I am waiting for a new pair of hiking pants to arrive. I bought one last week at a local sports store, but got tempted by one at Amazon.de. Hubby doesn't know about the latter. Actually, I've been spending more than my norm. I questioned Hubby about my mood. He said no elevation, but recognizes that the extra Lamictal lifted me out of the mood slump. It's still good to check. I will curb the spending. I spent over 200 Euros this month on culinary stuff. My passion. My sister-in-law said she'd like our old "partial" set. Now I feel a bit frivolous, but his sister does need more "matching" dinnerware. She's far from financially strapped, but it's obviously not her priority to buy a new one.
