Hey everyone ~
I know I haven't really been "around" lately. As the title states I have been quietly lurking. I really have nothing positive to add or my normal awesome words of wisdom and compassion. **sigh** I'm just dealing with a mixed episode and hellish Fibromyalgia pain that makes me literally want to snap and bite people . So since I have no lil warm fuzzies to offer anyone I just pulled back and am currently waiting for said mixed episode to even out or go one way or another. It is Amazing just how much "waiting" A Bipolars life has. Wait to feel better? Wait to be undepressed? Wait to be Hypo? Wait to feel "normal"? Wait and worry to see if Hypo becomes full blown Mania? Forcing yourself to Wait and not blow up because the world is to bright, noisey, annoying and flat out maddening. So I will "wait"

Me, too.
If I can't think of any other reason to be thankful for my meds, this week was a good example. Work sucked rocks, we had Corporate in the building auditing our charts at the same time that I had to attend first one death, then another (one of whom was a favorite patient of mine) and it seemed like there were always 14 people who needed a piece of me at one time. I don't do well with that much stimulation, and I have been ready to blow a gasket all week. But the term "chemical restraint" took on a whole new meaning for me, because I could feel the rage and frustration and sadness just simmering below the protective layer of medication, yet they couldn't escape. That is a GOOD thing, because it protects me from myself. Now it's the weekend and good humor is returning.....maybe I'll even sleep tonight.

You're right--and there's all the waiting, in doc offices, for test results, etc--as we wait. No end to it.
Good to know you've been around ... I think of you. * hugs galore * Roadie

Hope you pull out of this episode soon but I've never thought about it like that but when you think about it it's true there is a lot of waiting involved and can't always be patient.

No Worries! I'm doing the same thing really, I think we all have times that we lurk around... making sure our friends are ok and just reading selective posts.

Ready and waiting for the good times to resume (or the closest thing to them that I can experience!)
Looks like there's quite a queue building up here :P

I'm not even sure why I'm still in this queue... Life is good. My job has gotten better, a year later, I'm finally over my ex... My mood is good. But still, I'm just not there yet, and dont have the map... So still lurking until I find my voice...

I have had issues too as you know. Seems to be the season! Feel better. I feel almost normal. Not overly sedated like yesterday. I skipped the 24 hour dose and will wait till tonight.
