I've gone from fantastic to feeling flatter than a pancake that's been run over by a steam roller in the space of an afternoon. I got stuck in the middle of a situation between two people I care about and ended up upsetting both of them and feeling lousy about myself at the same time. I just don't do people well.

I wish people would just love me for who I am

I've decided to stay home by my self for the holidays while everyone else goes 3 hours away to see family. I have a plan to keep my physical health on track by staying here. Plus... I wasn't technically invited. I just always invite myself. This way I don't have to deal with feeling like I'm the odd one out in my family.

I am feeling attached to nature.
I am a part of nature's cycle, and I am at ease with that

Iam ok. Feeling a bit up.

feeling rather excited today.

a friend of mine is going to send me some cathy glass books. i've been wanting to read her work for ages

Not too bad right now. I'm sick (possibly the flu) and tired (I don't sleep much), but feeling a little wired. It boggles my mind!

My Fibromyalgia flare up is over so pain levels are down an my mood is relatively stale. I am really happy to have a real rest from BP symptoms.

I don't like this time of year. I don't like how programs get shut down for weeks and support people go on holidays for weeks also. I don't like how the whole world comes to a stop for what? It's hard to tell Bipolar to take a break because it's holidays after all. Life doesn't work that way.

Nevermind. Bah humbug moment.

Feeling so angry, annoyed and just low. Can't sleep! Eyes are so tired.

Why won't this depression just disappear already!!!

Today I talked to trees
They made me understand that losing their leaves and pine cones is not death. It is a long nap.
The Deciduous trees told me that they lose their leaves to protect themselves from the heavy snow.
The Conifers said they keep theirs because the Earth Mother gave them flexible sap, and also to provide shelter for the small ones
It was amazing

I want to talk to someone, but I don't know how to respond to their last message to me. But then again, I don't know if talking to them is even good for me because they aren't necessarily giving me what I want...

Better day today. Managed interaction with others without shutting down. Am feeling sad and goofy at same time. I don't make sense.

Been moving into mania. Changed some meds on my own. See doc on Tuesday. Trying to slow it all down.

I have lost a good friendship. That has put me into a place where I am grieving.

Money is tight. I'm trying to maintain some perspective. But it is hard.

Depressed after my meltdown. Calling Dr today to get back on an antidepressant. Dreading Christmas.

It is so nice to get up to coffee and you guys. I am appreciating this site more and more and maybe will have to add it as a wellness tool. Thanks so much everybody.

I don't feel like I belong anywhere.

feeling pretty good today

watched a fun christmas commedy programme, and then did something i've been trying to do for days.

finally managed to find a way to remove an annoying toolbar from my computer.

i feel wonderful!

I am struggling to accept my diagnosis.

I am afraid that it may get bad enough that my absences from work will put me into trouble territory. I have to keep reassuring myself that it's okay....for now. I am just nervous to think about what the new year might bring and wonder how many absences I am going to require. (Self talk: it's not going to be the end of the world.)

I just don't want to be made to feel "less than". I don't want to be looked down upon. I don't want to lose the admiration of my family and parents, my coworkers or bosses. At the same time I have to live and be honest about what I'm going through and be genuine. That doesn't mean I can't be savvy and self-protective.

I am getting through the days until Christmas and am looking forward to celebrating with my family. Can't wait to see the kids open their gifts.
