bipolar is still going out of control lots and lots of manic and depressed feelings on a daily basis going on.
I got my car an accident yesterday, parked it on a hill and it slipped out of park and shot down a hill on its own. Into the road, luckily no one was too majorly hurt by the incident.
Of course having the week I have been I looked odd to the cop and he automatically asked if I had been drinking, when I told him no that I was on bipolar meds and anxiety pills.

he asked if I had taken them that day which I of course said yes to.

so rapid manic depressive moods, and now on top of all that lots and lots of Anxiety, Panic attacks.

can't wait to see doctor this week.

Kala glad to hear no-one was really hurt. I hope you level out soon

So, hello I haven't been in the bipolar forums in a while. Kinda soaked myself into one of the user made groups which we had a similar thread. Anyway I have been rather stable for some time now. Although I am beginning to think I am just flat out lazy. I can't keep on a cleaning and bathing cycle . It is just a struggle to push myself into anything that is not critical. So disappointing . . . . .

I remembered all my meds last night, so I'm not dizzy today. Yay.

Work totally sucks though, got a 5" stack of invoices to write checks for, since my work is still in the stone age and a lot of it isn't computerized. I think my hand will fall off after all this writing.

In other news, my husband calmed down from his rage episode yesterday, where he told me to f off. Everything is ok now.

My mood is still depressed, at least today I havent started crying. Managing to still work. Keep hoping the new antidepressant starts working soon. I don't want to keep hoping from one to another. I am tired of being depressed. Just want to feel better.

Welll I have been OK lately.
I had a really bad down sad morning the other day but I really dont think it was depression or anything like that, I believe it was me mourning the life that was destroyed last year when I had my manic attack. I hurt my (now ex) wife, my daughter, but mostly myself.
I mourned the loss of my marriage, living on my own, missing my daughter....all things I must work thru in order to further heal and be ready to move on and find the love I deserve to experience.

i've really had a day of it today

been having problems with my sky box (tv) and for like 4 hours today, i was online to this.. it's like a helpline you'd get on the phone- and they kept transfering me to ddiffrent departments... yes it annoyed me- and i did finally crack when i got transfered to this girl sandra (bear in mind i had no ansers, and i'd been on for a good 3 hours by now)

so i told her.. look i came on here for an anser- that's probably really simple.. just please... can you tell me?

and she's like okay okay, what is the password on your sky acount- and i'm like, well.. i don't know it, let me email someone that knows and i'll get back to you

so i got the reply back with the password and i went back in to this chat thing (waited ages to be connected to someone). all excited that i had the password, and i was gonna get some help

so i get through to this... well i can't remember his name. but anyway i'm typing away to him what my issue is and i'm explaining this has taken me ages to try to sort this out... are you going to help me- do you want the password?

he's like, no. no one should ever need the password on your acount... and i just exploded. i took all that time to get it- and they don't even need it

i said to him, you know what?. never mind... i'm far too stressed. i'll try again tomorrow and just dis connected the chat

I am much better than last night. I was crying all night b/c I couldn't find my cat. Apparently she got out somehow. I left the porch door open last night so she could get in through the cat door, and she comes waltzing in around 12 am like nothing happened. Stupid cat. I was for sure we'd never see her again. I am so happy she came back. She's got a bunch of stuff in her fur, so I need to get that out today.

Work is ok, I'm voiding out checks today, b/c we don't have enough money to pay all the checks i wrote yesterday. Oh well.

One of those days I just woke up feeling less. Life seems more empty. No reason for it--nothing's happened, or failed to happen. Bipolar existence, I guess. It happens every so offen.

Morning: Some hurt (emotional) lingering from something last night. Ran stop sign. (!!!) Not on purpose, mind distracted. (Very mellow intersection...)
Afternoon: Better to quite good.
Evening/Night: CLEANING, and lots of it. While thinking lots of funny things and cracking myself up.

Really noticed the squishiness of the floor. What if Gumby was caught in a giant conch shell!? I thought (ever-so) briefly of putting him in there, but there's no way I'd risk his falling in the toilet. And think how big a guinea pig would look to a Lego person!

Showers are great. Nothing funny about that.
Ahhhh, clean.

Everyone is sleeping. I kind of want to do something about that. I won't, but ... Heheheh.
Have to remember that the last time I bounced across the bed laughing, "get up get up get up!", my psych's phone number was asked for. And that time it actually was morning(!)... So yeah, better not. I've been feeling like a party of one, giggling under my breath. I wish BF could see out of my brain right now. Except he might get confused about all the raarrrr thoughts about his snoring self... Oh. Wait. That's where I should write, "heheheh."

Oh the good bits are sooo good...Why can't they be the only kind?

Feeling good (great?)! Hope this lasts a while. Wish I had more stuff I could do, finished cleaning and I guess I'll just hang around here and chat or something. Not going to buy alcohol.

I'm not going to buy alcohol, either! Funny, but I woke up with that thought this morning. Not sure where it came from--but it's a good 'un!!!

((((((( Mandrec )))))))

Take best care, everyone.

Besides being horribly depressed, I'm also devasted to find out I will have no health insurance starting May 1. I was on Cobra and go off it at the end of April. I'm so angry, hurt, scared mostly. I havent been stable for a couple of months so it's real hard for me to handle news like this right now. Thanks for listening. I know I'm not alone.

Hi Gayle,

Department of Mental Health

I didn't sleep for three days straight last week, so my pdoc took me off my ADs thinking I might be going hypo. I feel so freakin' sad the past few days...I find myself crying at the drop of a hat. There must be some middle ground between insomnia & depression. This is the first time I've ever flipped like this so rapidly.

Today went well. It's me and my husband's wedding anniversary today. We've been together for 4 years. I had to go to see my GP today, and he scheduled an ultrasound to see if my spleen is still enlarged. It shouldn't be b/c I'm over the mono I had last summer.

i feel special today. I think I can do anything ever. I have a whole day at work to waste tomorrow! I don't want to read our books either, kids. i want to play outside with you! except I hate basketball. i wish I could take the day off to garden since it's supposed to rain by the time I get home.

sometimes this turns nasty on me so I hope I just stay magic!

Anxious and angry.

Not to mention tired as hell because I've spent the last few nights arguing with my Mom about crap until 4 AM.

So far my morning has been low. Depression is winning. I had a small crying period and just feel like being in bed.
