Sometimes, life just sucks, bipolar or not. Today, I lost a favorite patient AND my 14-year-old kitty within hours of each other. Oddly enough, I don't feel like this is going to trigger a mood episode, but I'm very sad and I look forward to the time when I won't have to feel pain anymore.

Many hugs, BPNurse. My hats off to you with your chosen profession. I know I would never be able to handle all that comes with nursing duties.
