Hypomania strikes again. Pots, pans, food and dishes are piled high on my kitchen counter. Stop, I said to myself. So I went to my room and put the TV in my closet and packed 6 bags of stuff for Goodwill. This isn't the worst post Christmas purge, but I noticed it this time and plan to bring some sort of order to the kitchen, or wait for my daughters to arrive later this afternoon and give me a hand. I feel like I've just run a mini marathon. I'm also beating myself up for not noticing what I was doing earlier. I hope that one of these days I'll see it before it's there. But I'm not holding my breath.

Hearing you. Cleaning frenzy started yesterday with sorting out my clothes. Now they all fit into my cupboard. Didn't sleep well last night. Trying to make myself stay in bed and rest a bit longer.
Male sure you get enough rest. And enjoy the productivity while it lasts!

Me! I'm not hypomanic though. I was up at 4 am and I had all the Christmas decorations down by 5:30 am. I always have this need to go into the New Year with everything spic and span. The morning is the best time because I don't have my little "helpers" stopping and asking for snacks, dvds, etc. every 10 minutes.

Take care of yourself. Don't want to let it escalate into something bad. <3

I wish a bit of hypomania would strike me. It has been MONTHS since I've felt it, and it boosts my creativity.

Really miss it.

And my house is such a disaster area.

It's so overwhelming to look around and see things that need to be done. I just ignore it or leave instead of working on it.
