This is a familiar territory for me @MuddyBoots - reading stuff from when I was in jail was REALLY hard to read, especially some of it was really hopeless and about my ex-husband. I lost all my journals when I was younger in a very manic episode years ago, I am not sure how I would feel about reading all that now.

I know mania is a great feeling and being hospitalized is really expensive, but I really hope you get stabilized soon @Blueberrybook - I am glad you are here posting though and letting us know how you're doing, keep posting and expressing yourself as much as you need to!

Please don't stop posting @raspberrytorte - we need you here, and I love what you have to say, and I think that all of us need remember that our bipolar fluctuates all over the place and it's important that we let everybody express themselves how they feel they need to.

My prayers are with you @Scooter9 for your mom, your colonoscopy @Mountaindewed , and your pawpaw @HALLIEBETH87 - it seems like everyone is going through a lot right now, and have a lot of things going on.

As for me, it's quiet on my front. I scored 7 1/2 hours sleep last night, (WOOHOO!) and I have been embracing my independence a lot more and taking time for myself in my relationship rather than being so codependent. Planning to go to GalaxyCon in two weeks and get my PhotoOP with William Shatner, and a music festival in my town the day after. Finances are tight because of all this stuff going on this month, but I think I can swing it. I should work some more to cover the costs, so I don't dip into my savings.

I am glad to see everyone posting though, like @MuddyBoots said I really rely on you guys even when I miss a few days. My bipolar has been manageable and it hasn't been as extreme as it was last week. Definitely that desperate codependency has lifted, thank God.
