I woke up energized and got excited that my Spring hypomania was starting. The weather has turned mild, hovering around freezing and i think i see buds on treetops in the distance. I got to some laundry that i've been putting off for a while and feel great about that.

But by noon my energy had run out. I guess it's no catastrophe if i spent most of the day dozing or sitting quietly watching the sky or the fireplace app. In some ways it's better than watching soaps which poison my mind with their oppressive messages about women and beauty or my other activities that i've done nth times.

Anyways i feel pretty good, comfortable in my cozy home with my sweet dog for company. I'm sure i'm still coasting on relief from getting my dog's ordeal over with yesterday.

At any rate, it's nice to be feeling good!

@BethRags:

I don't care for CBT either. I was first introduced to it thirty years ago, before it was even a thing, when my psychiatrist's students just gave me a lesson and hand-outs about it. I find i can identify the "hot thought," deduce the thinking error and create the adaptive thought. I just don't believe the adaptive thought! Also, i've read that it's just human vanity to theorize that we are thinking beings who feel. Really, we are feeling beings who think! I feel professionals cling to CBT out of a need to feel that their work is evidence-based. I'm always more moved by random acts of kindness, even by someone holding the door for me, than i ever was by any CBT Thought Record!
