The highlight of my day is one of the dogs at the shelter trusted me enough to let me pet his belly. He is such a sweet dog one-on-one, but the shelter staff says he isn't the greatest around other dogs so I think he'll be a little harder to find a home for. There was a woman there today who had to pass on adopting him because of this.

Irritability and SI still present today, especially this evening. I was trying to get work done for school but stopped when I almost slammed my fist into my laptop because I don't need to have to buy a new one right now. The paper towels ripped weird and I was ready to destroy the kitchen because of this. I'm really at a loss as to how to cope with my bipolar symptoms in a healthy way. I always completely shut down and don't get anything done the rest of the day. But, I return to work soon so that really isn't an option if my meds still aren't working when school resumes.
