Every day this week I've felt guilty when I've dropped my kids off at school. Maybe I need to be doing more with them when they're not in school? Or maybe I am tired so I feel guilty about wanting to go back to bed? I'm so tired the last few days.

I also am reveilling in ever smell or breeze or sound as if things were turned up. I figured maybe it's an after effect from feeling Sui lately.

Usually when I start to notice colors are brighter, smells are better, or even that breeze blowing against me makes me feel amazing. Its a good sign that I am a little on the hypomanic side. Its one of my favorite things about being bipolar. I love the beautiful bright greens of the grass and the beautiful colors of all the flowers blooming. My hearing is even hightened and I hear all the pretty birds singing. Things you just miss when your not hypo.

Thats when I know a shopping spree is around the corner and its time to hide the credit cards from me.

Usually when a good hypomania is coming on its right after a slight depression and being super tired for days. It feels amazing.

Have to agree with Moremi. Those are warning signs for me, too.
As for the guilt, take a serious look at the time you spend with your kids. Are you doing everyday stuff, or hiding in your room? If you want to spend more time, play a game with them after school. Something as simple as a card game or short board game will alleviate your guilt and perk up their day. Have a snack and ask them about their day. Any little thing that is interaction will be meaningful for them.

As for tired, the kids are in school, so go back to bed for a few hours and get yourself the energy to interact with them when school is over. My Mom was permanently depressed when I was in grade school. But I do remember the after school moments when we'd sit together and have a snack and just talk about my day. Those were special times for me.

I do feel like I spend time with them. Maybe not "fun" time. Maybe we should go to dairy queen or the museum. Then again I took my daughter out last night and hung out with her while she played on her scooter.

I am hard on myself when it comes to spending time with my two boys as well. You are deffinently not alone on that subject at all. I have had a lot of people tell that kids are resilient and that even the little time we spend with is a lot to them. Try not to beat yourself up over it, and I know its hard for I am trying to learn that myself.

I am low on $ because I'm paying bills and non bf just came over and gave me $25 so I can get lunch and gas. I go to a women's group lunch Fridays and I was going to skip it but he thinks it's important for me to have that interaction and because I'm on tack to start school again.

It is important to have something to yourself, some away time, where you can make friends or just be social. My T recommended the Red Hat Society for me, and once we are done with school, I am looking into it. I'd only be a Pink hat, cause I'm under 50, but the socialization would be good for me.
