Thanks, @Jennifer 1967 and @*Beth*. And sorry for all of the typos in my post. My brain is not operating well. Sometimes I start to type the first version that comes to my head, then turn to a second mid-way. Also, when I first wrote it it was present tense. Then I updated and didn't change all to past.

My husband was kind in not showing any extreme reaction when I broke the vase. He fully understood what caused it. He said he'll try to see if he can get some money from our homeowners insurance. I kinda doubt that will work, though.

So few people on bipolar forums write about clumsiness as a result of bipolar disorder and/or the medications. I feel a bit alone in having this side effect. I only recall Kay Redfield Jamison mentioning something similar in her memoir.

Beth, I feel overwhelmed. I'm overeating to self medicate. I've had to push myself to do some basic things. I fear that pushing will have a limit. Nothing I do seems to be as good as usual.
