eaten breakfast.

watched clockwise again (and laughed at the funny parts)

read my book

didn't eat too much

I recognize that I am having a very reactive day, and instead of allowing that to happen. I used a calm voice and mannerisms to tell my husband that I was might be unpredictably responsive today, that I didn't want to cause any problems, so I needed less interaction today.

I helped him to know how to respond back to me by writing it down. I told him, I am not trying to be bossy, but I have read men often say they want the woman to tell them what she wants to hear - (and my husband said he likes when I do that.) I asked him to tell me this: "Thank you for monitoring your illness so well that you can warn me when you are having a bad day. It helps us to avoid unnecessary fighting. I love you and I will give you the space you need today. I hope you are feeling better soon".

I am trying to keep busy with a craft. I have done some things wrong today with food, but I am trying to focus on the good and keep myself balanced as I ride this wave of emotion from a precarious sense inner balance.

Good job Imah. There is absolutely value in self awareness and people skills.

Today I went to work, chatted with a dear friend, went to take care of my arm.

I did some piecing on a quilt I'm working on.

Wow, you are an amazing person.
So much strength and courage

Washed the dishes, made up the bed & worked on some drawings with my daughter.

I made a nice dinner - pasta Alfredo

Played some games with my family, washed the dishes & made awesome coffee.

Called for an appointment for cardiac rehab for my dad. Worked 4.5 hours. Pick up prescriptions later for my dad.

Helped someone at work out that needed to leave early (her daycare is only open a half day today)

Am volunteering at an administrative office for AA. Will be cooking dinner later (which I don't do every day because I hate cooking).

Read this thread- which I usually don't do bc I am in such a depressive state.

I have laundry in and I texted a friend. Planning dinner with folks tonight and going to a small party later with hubby and kids. Trying not to get overwhelmed with all that

Went for a run this morning and it felt great for some reason today like I was flying, went to the grocery store...working on taking a shower

A note: I bought some probiotics and read that they may be an alternative treatment for people with bipolar disorder

I started a pot of chili in the slow cooker and made a fruit salad. Supper's done. Yea!

Took my 9 year old son and our Boston Terrier to the dog park for some fresh air. Wrote up a good review of Latuda for PC.

Packed some boxes for my big move in january to be closer to family

Made some sense of the 5 medications my dad got that were overwhelming him today. I separated AM, PM in different piles and filled his pill dispenser.

Visited my father in the hospital after work today. He went in last night with an Acute Asthma Attack. He's a big trigger for me but I did it and we both lived to tell about it.

Went to work

My dad is a huge trigger for me ,too. But there's no one else nearby. Klonopin!

Went for a jog, dusted, went grocery shopping. Anything I do to keep busy and do something other than surf the internet way too much is a good thing.

I did some sewing on a quilt I'm making. I started a new bag that I'm going to make. Then decided it was break time.

Went golfing. It is amazing that people are allowed to cuss and swear and use foul language in public like that while drinking beer and driving. In my defense I was having a rough round and the beer did calm me somewhat and the golf carts really don't go very fast.

hard to think of anything else positive because my life is so non existent
