The last few days I've shopped and raced around the house, because I'm having company from out of town tomorrow stay for a week. However...today I HAD to go gambling, the compulsion was so strong! I raced there going 80 mph most the way..(still didn't realize I was hypomanic or manic)...I was down $200 in slots, then I won $1100 on one spin and the insanity ensued. I kept setting limits on when I was going to stop (down in $ x dollars &/or a time frame to leave), then kept breaking those limits over and over while I raced around from machine to machine! I smoked a pack of cigarettes in 5 hours and had endless diet pepsi's (which apparently just matters worse- duh). Finally, when I had $500 left total (I brought $200) and it was 8pm....I finally left. I drove the drive home thinking how I had lost the additional $600 and felt like crap! I kept saying to myself I can't believe I have a gambling addiction! Talked to hubby about it when I got home and he said "your manic, I can tell by your eyes, they get all wild looking". Then I thought...how did I miss this? ... It didn't even dawn on me I just thought I became an addicted gambler and couldn't stop.... Note to self: Always remember look to Bipolar symptoms as possible cause of odd behavior!!!

Those endless diet pepsis are loaded with aspartame, Dijmart, and you're going to feel
the effects of that for at least a couple of days. Aspartame is a very, very acidic product
and harmful. Drink plenty of purified water during the next 48 hours if you want to
reduce the side effects, please.

I hope you're calmed down before your guests arrive. If not, try the lemon thing
to reduce acid of fluids and tissues.

I just recently was researching BP and problems with depth perception & uncoordination ( a life long problem for me) and came across an interesting article on a website called AllAbout.com. The article is titled "Can the Eyes predict Bipolar Disorder? ". It was very interesting.

Thanks for the replies...I made some med adjustments last night and this morning. Feeling ok, just kinda out of it, but that's the meds probably. Having some memory issues too. Sister is on her way here. I wish I had another day first, but oh well. Thanks again.
