Hi
I just got back from vacation and I am feeling really good right now. But I know from the past that it never lasts. This is my HIGH time right now but sooner or later the DOWN side comes along. Wish I could feel good like this all the time....but realistically I know the down time will come....but my doctor said to enjoy it while it last but that is hard to do..but I am trying... anyone else have a hard time dealing with the HIGHS and LOWS of Bipolar?

Hope,
I don't have an extremely hard time dealing with them, I just hate that feeling you get when you know a low is coming, or falling from a high. I've gotten pretty good at recognizing my mood changes, but there's not a whole lot I can do to stop it. I just try to deal with it as best I can, and remind myself "this too shall pass". Seem's kind of inane, but it works for me most of the time. I just hate the fact that outside factors 'trigger' my emotions, but there isn't a whole lot I can do to stop it. Just ride it out and make the best of it I guess. Dolfin

I have a hard time dealing with my highs and lows, too. I don't think it's something that you easily get used to.... if that EVER even happens at all. I'd like to think that one day I'll have this all under some type of control, but I am not too sure about that. Sometimes I even wonder if I am going insane... and it makes it even worse to know that most of the poeple around me don't understand bi-polar disorder much at all. BUT I won't give up...I have plenty to keep striving for.

yes it does make it worse when others around me do not understand why I am the way I am.....I try to tell them if you do not understand how do you think I feel....I try to put humor into this but my T says I am using my humor to hide my pain....I was feeling good earlier in the week but now today I am feeling the down side coming on....UGH hate it so much....I see things around my house that need to be done but I just do not have the want to to do it.....UGH......my house is a mess and I cannot do anything... I am still in my nightgown and it is close to 5 pm now....tired of feeling this way UGH
