My family was going to have a Christmas dinner today bc my uncle was not doing well from cancer. Well the dinner was cancelled bc he passed away last night. I have been cycling like ma today. I think I have relived every bad and good moment of my childhood... figured out there seem to be a lot more bad... got really depressed. Not sure what advice or response I am looking for, expecting. Just needed to get it out

Try to keep in mind that much of what you are experiencing in this moment is normal grief and memories and stress of the moment. Not everything is related to our bipolarness. I had to keep that in mind when my sister died that what I was going through was "okay" and "normal" for the situation. It is hard to recognize "normal" reactions when we are so used to all of our reactions somehow being tied to our illness.

TY all of you. Especially Monkey- its true, memories aren't always friendly. I have felt some jealousy when I have heard ppl talk about fond childhood memories, esp of their parents bc I have so few. My parents were so much better as a couple than as parents of a child. They obviously figured that out AFTER they had me bc I was an only child and my grandmother more or less raised me but I wish I had more fond bday or holiday memories to fall back on like some of my friends have.
Chris- your message was very helpful. I do tend to forget that "normal" ppl get crazy upset over sh__ sometimes too and its not ALWAYS bc I'm BP that I can't "get over it" or "just buck up." |
