Sorry for those of you struggling right now.

My mood is fine, maybe a wee bit elevated but not too much.

It rained this morning but stopped in time for me to do Couch2 10K this morning. I'm not very far into the program, just week 2, and I may have to repeat it b/c I am so not used to running. I walked home from my run but not too fast. The walk was good until:



Going to take a shower soon but daughter stayed up ALL night and is just now brushing her teeth in the bathroom. She is a night owl. I don't know how we'll ever get her sleep back on schedule for school. Plus, she is going to a friend's house today and needs to get some rest beforehand. I was invited too but I don't feel up to going yet and socializing with the parents especially since H told them about my bipolar and manic episode.

H told them I was bipolar years ago. He tells pretty much all his aquaintences about it, says he hates skirting around the truth when people ask how I'm doing or why I'm not in attendance at some event. I'm not sure how I feel about that, embarrassed and just a bit on display and worried about what people think of me even though H says the people he tells are very understanding, but I still worry about it. I have social anxiety too, so that doesn't help when I'm around people I don't know well.

H is going to work today, so at least he feels I am stable enough to stay home with daughter.

HUGS to all and have a wonderful day!

Edited:
I saw I accidentally left gabapentin in my pillbox. I took it just now. Anyone know what gabapentin does for bipolar? My neurologist prescribes it for peripheral neuropathy. I don't think it helps the PN, and wanted to stop taking it but my pdoc says to keep taking it, that it helps bipolar. My pdoc speaks very fast, so the appts. are quick, and I always forget to ask him.
