Ok. But then I only woke up a couple of hours ago. Was up till 7:30am herding electric sheep(!) Yup, really! Once I started, I couldn't stop. I seriously think it was a big factor in improving my mood. Check it out: http://www.electricsheep.org And if you click on "samples", you can see them in motion. On the sample page, you can click on "archives" for a WHOLE lot more stills (screen captures). So beautiful! Off to make the sheep a thread of their own!

I kinda feel like I need someone to tell me that with the DX that I found on a paper from my doc, I'm really not as crazy as the dx claims.... According to him, I am Bipolar 1 with psychotic behavior :-\ I guess since I am feeling OK lately I can't come to terms with the bipolar atm.... I can't be that crazy...can I?

Whoa! Left untreated, a diagnosis of bipolar I could certainly leave a person drifting into a life of out-of-control behavior & probably guardianship. But that's not you!! You're going to get treatment, learn coping skills, & join the huge number of we bipolars who struggle successfully every day to be fully functional members of the general society.

When I went home last night, DW told me that I was "pressured." I was like "really, ya think so?" Been dealing with the mania for a week now. Still no medication relief and pdoc is out until tomorrow. Oh, well. I'm still in a pretty good mood. Getting stuff done. At least I'm still on the risperdal and effexor.

It's been a great Christmas so far. DW has been really helpful. Saw our 17 y/o daughter in a christmas play last night...really awesome. She was a wise woman.

Wishing everyone here a Merry Christmas!

Gary

Slept for a little while, but sitting here anxious and waiting to open presents. My sister left to go have breakfast with her boyfriend and told me not to open anything and to wait till she gets home. Ugh, I guess I could wait but its Christmas morning, shouldn't she be home with her family instead of having to wait on her??

Anger setting in now. And impatience. But I am not going to let it bring me down.

I struggle so much with organization, I start 10 tasks at the same time and keep on switching them until maybe one or two gets done. I keep wondering if that is a bipolar trait or if its just lack of something else. That's why I made an app to finally be seen by a dx. Maybe there are organization pills lol damn it

I'm sorry that you're feeling bad today. I have those times in my office too sometimes. I prefer to be around people too.

Well, I talked to the pdoc today and he added Haldol 5 mg qhs to the mix. Hopefully it'll help. Manic for 10 days or so.

I've been really enjoying family relationships for a change. I'm better able to flip or reframe a lot of stuff now. I'm happy about that. It's a positive change for me.

i've been feeling okay today.

my nan came round in the morning (which was lovely) not just because she's my nan, but because at her age... 90, it's a lot of effert to come all that way to see us!. so good she's in great health

apart from that.. listened to some music, breaved a sigh of relief christmas was over (yay!) actually ate some stuff, and even got a request played on the radio (some finish song, just don't ask!)

sis was at work for most of the day, and brother playing fifa 2012

Feeling a little more positive today :-) . Went to the center at my church for the first time in weeks and looking forward to get back into the swing of things. Not only that, but this is the first time is months I've visited this forum and I am happy to say that I'm glad that I did.

Today has been a lazy day. In bed most of the day. One holiday down and one more to go. Feeling kind of bored.

Today I'm doing "OK" or at least I'm up and about and not hibernating in my blacked out apartment. Feeling a little tired and getting even more tired by the minute sure sign of lingering depression.

I took the Haldol 5 mg last night. Still feel manic today but maybe a little better. Hard to tell. It made me a little tired but that's it. I'm sure it takes days/weeks to work. I'm so impatient.

I'm doing okay. I called my pdoc and got off Saphris the side effects were causing anxiety. So now i'm starting slow release lithium.

I still have phone calls to make but I'm putting those off until after therapy tomorrow.
