I took a shower after a week last night. Didn't have the strength to wash my hair...but I felt good that day. I don't know what the deal is or why I do that. I haven't been out of the house this week either, and I don't feel like it. I'm perfectly happy being a home body.

Showers are highly over-rated. I have found that a squirt of hand sanitizer put on the "important parts" and wiped off with a washcloth works just as well, actually better, when it comes to odor.

Today I scooped the yard and took a walk with the dogs. Go me!

Depakote is helping but the side effects are kicking my butt. I wasn't functioning before b/c of BP2, now not functioning b/c Depakote makes me feel like I have the flu. Pharmacist said give it a month and then change. I'm determined to kick it's butt back.

I helped (informally) counsel a 20-something suffering from ptsd and having trouble with severe anxiety attacks. Those attacks are also something I suffer from plus he and I take some of the same bi-polar meds. It felt good to have a positive impact on someone and know that my hardships aren't in vain.
Thanks for this!

I'm inspired by reading all the accomplishments.

Today was pretty well catatonic.

But I know tomorrow will probably be better.

Got up at the crack of dawn and took my dogs for a good run. Early mornings are so peaceful, before the morning rush starts.

Went to a folk festival with the hubby and kids on Saturday and had a good time. Went to church and grocery shopping today. Haven't been having crying spells on the weekends like I was a few weeks back I was really panicking about everything then.

Told my best friend about my newly diagnosed BP II. She was very understanding, then drove here (about 70 miles) to take me out for supper.
Thanks for this!

Church went okay this morning especially since this is the first time I have gone since I was in a psych ward for 25 days so I see this as a big accomplishment. After pervious hospitalizations when I go to church the first couple of times I go I have to get up in the middle of the service because I just can't handle it or sometimes I cry.

Put dinner in the crock pot this morning ... first time cooking in about 2 months! Did laundry and some dreaded thank you notes. Then I treated myself to coffee with a girlfriend. Am starting to feel human again after being in a very dark hole.

I went to an eye appointment and took my son to a dental appointment today. Managed to stay calm when I got the bills. I can forget about getting a house. We got new health insurance that sucks and seems like every time I turn around I've got to dip into savings to pay the bills.

Today after 2 months of completing my WRAP booklet.... I gave copies of them to my 2 best friend's. They read them and said they would keep them. This is the 1st time I have felt brave enough to do this. My Family don't even know about it

I felt very sick all day but- I managed to update a few charts at work, send out "feelers" for better places to temporarily house our residents during rehabilitation, research new banks for my move, buy pet wipes for my cat (and a couple of toys), talk to my Mom without snapping at her (she was manic, I am depressed), and pay some bills without freaking out about money. Good thing the boyfriend is cooking tonight!
Thanks for this!
