Exhausted now I'm coming down from mania, but an okay day otherwise. Saw Dracula Untold. Really enjoyed it. Vampire delusions are always fun to get sucked into. Might spend a few days in those.

Thanks for this!

I'm suspiciously good. After weeks of depression, I feel upbeat again, and I'm wondering why. Remember I got the diagnosis of bipolar just two days ago, and I have better since then. Is it possible the mood stabilizer could have worked after two nights of taking it? Or is it more that the diagnosis was liberating, and I'm somewhat hopeful about treatment options? Or maybe I just cycled back into some form of hypomania?

Really had a pretty good week. Then, this morning I woke up feeling depressed and sad.

After the good week, I feel even worse. I am mourning the loss of the good feelings. The 'normal, happy' place. I feel like I am going to be stuck here forever.

I went to the thrift shop and bought myself a really nice teapot and cup.

It seems like the little things give me so much comfort

Still in the black hole of depression. I SIed something I haven't done in over a year. I'm so tired off fighting to keep my head above water. I just want to give up. Yes I know that I'm eventually going to cycle back around, but I don't want to. That just means I'm going to cycle back down at some point too. I can't do this.

Not good today. Had a couple of calm days after the mania subsided, but now the irritation has set in. I want to strangle just about everyone, from my asshat colleagues to my damned mother. Killer headache. I'll be in a rage tomorrow. Just hope I can sleep tonight. I'm starting to obsess about one of my most hated colleagues, and it's lodged in my head now.

Got through the weekend with no booze or cigarettes! Did homework for next week so I can be lazy for some time. Have been getting excited and been researching for adventure trips I'm going to make next summer and summers after.

Possibly crashing. Fatigued...severely fatigued and sleeping excessively today. I had been sleeping a little more with Seroquel on board but nothing like this. Moving around is SUPER exhausting. Never good when I just wanna stay in bed...and that's exactly how I feel.

Thanks all for being so wonderful.

AM:
500mg Depakote ER
150mg Seroquel
PM:
1,000mg Depakote ER

Life is funny, que no? Felt so sad yesterday, and then today, I had a pretty darn good day. I'm thrilled when I have good/great days. I just wish I could get over the lurking feeling that the bad day was just around the corner. Sigh!

I've been working on catching up on school work all weekend, so I'm not feeling much beside anxiety and concern for that. Who knows to what emotional state this will lead?

Today, at work, a person lower on the food chain went to my boss, behind
my back
and got him to over-rule my decision.
How sweet it will be when we cannot meet our deadline because of his
stupid decision

Skipped class to self-harm. And to think I was feeling really good at the end of last week.

Up & down day for me-haven't made it to the shower yet but I did go out quickly to vote & worked on some art projects & listened to some mellow music. Tried calling some of my family but no one picked up-left messages which is hard for me to do sometimes. Took my meds & vitamins.

Pretty good day. Sort of manic. Crazy singing, flash of thought, insane happiness, and off I went. All incredibly good.

Tonight, just tired.

What does it all mean? My last pdoc said it just means that I am terribly moody.
