I think I hit a rut since tuesday and only left the house once since. I am afraid it will take a while to get out so Monday I have to force myself out.

It goes away, you get used to it and then you noticed it doesn't have that effect anymore. I take it and am still wired

[Gretchen]

made homemade waffles AND pancakes for breakfast
bathed the dog
mopped the kitchen floor
changed the sheets on my bed
vaccummed the whole house
did four loads of laundry
cleaned and rearranged the downstairs of the garage
made rotesseire chicken, rice in the cooker and white corn
magic erased bathroom floor
cleaned all mirrors and bathroom sinks in the house
watered the plants

trying not to think about when depression is going to hit

Not I'm sure what I'm doing anymore. Becoming religiously preoccupied again. God I am so weird! I'm sick of the ups and downs.

I woke with severe sore throat, ear ache, fever, headache, general sick feeling ... Had flu shot but if this remains tomorrow will call doctor, although my digestive system can't tolerate another round of antibiotics so soon. Already in this new year year it's been one thing after another, and I'm fed up with coping.

Sorry to hear that. What you are describing sounds like a generic viral infection, so you will not need an antibiotic.

I am catching up with work and going out for dinner with a date in the evening.

[LadyShadow]

It really had a hold on me earlier, but I pulled out of it. Coping with this illness is so damn hard sometimes. Feel better Roadie!!

[hamster-bamster]

I have caught up with a big chunk of work. Will now start looking at the email backlog.

[wildchild r]

even worse day, trying to deal with it, finding mysel a bit left out in the cold!

[roads]

[wildchild r]

thank you,

Sorry you're not feeling well Roadie. Hope it gets better soon.

Kind of existing today. Excited to see my T because it feels like forever since I have seen him. Can't wait to just unload on someone with all I have been going through. It just seems like 3:30pm is so far away. Its 11:47am now. God, I hate time. I am trying to read, watch tv anything and it is not going by fast enough.

Thanks, Gary. Hand-in-hand, we get thru things even when we don't think it's possible.

A friend pulled a belly laugh out of me this morning, and that miracle broke loose the dam of Impossible Coping. I'll take on today whatever comes without grimness--maybe traces of that laugh will make it to sundown.

Friends and laughter make life possible for me. They can't put that in a bottle.

[wildchild r]

better day..manic and a lil rage always pumps me up...gets me in a little trouble!!

BUT I LIKE IT!!

[hamster-bamster]

I better log off and work .

Hey Gretchen,

Are you doing ok? I hope you had a fun night and didn't get too wild n crazy? Why something red - are you niners fan? Sorry your having such mania, but dang girl, I would love to get that much crap done in a day!

I too try not to think about when the next big depression will come. Used to do that a lot. I think it was Trippin who helped set me straight on that waste of mind time! We'll deal with a depression if it happens at that time ok? Of course do the healthy things to avoid bringing on the episode. But I lived in such fear for a long time after my bp dx, so worried for the next depression.

This thread is great cuz it seems to get people talking, when they maybe wouldn't normally post a thread. I need to check on here more often to keep up with how everyone is doing. Now that I have a little energy back I can be support, which is something fulfilling for me to do. Praying this energy level continues, I need it and I like it!

The intro section up top of this forum is another one I would like to try to check on more cuz sometimes people pour their hearts out and it barely gets attention. Might be better actually to tell new people to post their intro in the main area, imho.

And proud of you Shattered, sweetie! I feel like I've watched you blossom into this social butterfly. Thanks for making this thread here, good leadership skills! (I'm such a mom lol, but I really mean it, it's cool to see you doing these things.)

Hugs, prayers, blessings to all you who like those sort of things.

[hamster-bamster]

Finally gone through the TODOs at work - just three items but big ones. Hopefully tomorrow at least as good.

[Gretchen]

checking in is about all i can muster

dreadful day
drinking/smoking on my meds (yes I know that's dangerous/wrong)
struggling
bleck

[BipolaRNurse]

Mood has been steady as a rock since the holidays got over with.......it's nice to go along for awhile without feeling bipolar.

I am here , ridiculous pain , being here forces me to help to others .. that has to be helpful to me?

[Trippin2.0]

My perpetual hunger has returned, so that is a GOOD sign I just want to eat eveything in sight.... this is normally an irritating part of my physical make-up, but dammit it's also reassuring, bcoz I wasn't too sure if I am actually fine, and now I know I just have to be. I can't be this hungry and mentally unwell
