slept most of the day and night. my "controlled high" is coming to an end. Woke up this morning and talked myself into facing the world today. Hoping to have a "controlled level" instead of sinking.

Took two naps yesterday and still was able to get a full night's rest last night. I am still having bouts of anxiety, but I am dealing with them in a much better way. Less with pills, and more with breathing [yes, I forget!], reading, distraction, etc.

It is the first snow of the year, I slept all night, I'm alone this morning with my thoughts and feeling very peaceful. to you all.

Feeling awful, tired but don't want to sleep because I genuinely don't want to wake up to another day of feeling crap! I cried a few times today, it's like I have no control of my emotions at all and I super sensitive to any sort of criticism.

Hoping so badly that I see some good in trying to attempt on approaching to apply for some volunteering work. Hope everyone else is feeling better then me!!!

Busy start to week. Had appointment with T at 9am, did some deep and meaningful which left me feeling drained. Got given homework for week. I hate it when I get homework. Got home and did a few chores before getting a phone call from Pdoc asking me to come in this afternoon. Not sure what that's about. Great. Then got phone call from No1 son stating he's feeling suicidal and needs to talk. Feeling overwhelmed and its only lunchtime on Monday!

Don't worry, there is an entire group of someones who are reading your posts here. This is a good group. We may not always say a lot, but there are hugs and thanks, and I can tell you that the first thing I do every day when I log on is read up on how everyone is doing. And I think about you all.

Hope you are feeling better and that you have a good day.

I'm in a pretty peaceful place this past week. My meds seem to be working. I'm doing well, tapering off of the Saphris. Sleeping better.

All in all, my mood has been pretty stable. I've even gone back to reading books, something I had given up because my mind was too scattered. I'm really enjoying reading!

Anxious. See hemotologist today to find out why wbc is so high. My wife is coming with me but right now I'm at work. Can't focus. I don't know what is a symptom of my bipolar and what's a symptom from my wbc count being so high. I just want to go back home and go back sleep. I'm scared of what this could be. An autoimmune disorder, cancer, or something else. My Pcp doesn't think it's an infection because I'd be really sick if it was. But I feel fine. I don't know, but I want answers.

I am feeling quite sluggish today, managed to go for a shower after getting out of bed quite late. It seems like I all I feel like doing is disappearing. Scared of applying for jobs and I truly think i won't be able to communicate with people at the workplace. Don't imagine doing well at an interview at all anymore. Where as, before bipolar I use to be good at interviews.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Stupid Lamictal makes me have trouble staying asleep, lose me appetite and feel all shaky.

Otherwise I'm okay, I guess. The hell that was last week may have been a turning point...

So I've got to get a bone marrow biopsy scheduled for Thursday. My hemotologist thinks I have a form of leukemia. I'm falling apart slowly...

I'm doing ok all things considered. Not that I would ever consider myself normal, but I'm closer to it than I've been in months
