I'm wayyyy more angry than normal today.

My mood is too elevated.

I'm not aggressive by nature when I'm stable but man I'm wanting to knock the lights out of people.

Best I filter my mouth today otherwise I will land myself in poo.

How is Bipolar affecting your ability to function today?

I'm annoying stable right now. It's making me a bit antsy. I have days I'm *****y and days I'm down but they are just normal ups and down.

I'm at the bottom of the scale. Depression has set in bad. I'm feeling pretty hopeless even though I know it will come back up it just depends on how long it takes to get an upswing.

I have been unable to leave the house more than a couple of times in the last month :-(

I need to go see my horse. I haven't been able to see him in almost a month and haven't felt well enough to drive with adding one med and taking away another.

I miss him so much and while I know he's well looked after where he is, I know he misses the attention and riding when I'm able to go see him. So I woke up this morning to a panicky feeling of dread mixed with anxiety and guilt and sadness for not seeing him. I NEED to go see him but feel I can't get there :-(

Not affecting me. Not in an episode right now. Actually, upon reflection, I don't really feel anything at all right now.

I'm also finding it difficult to leave the house for a number of reasons ... worried about a psychotic episode out in public.

I can hardly get off of the couch. Today I lied. I told my husband I have a bad headache and that my body feels achy. I am embarassed about another day of 'laziness' and when he's home, it is entirely evident to him. He tends to be critical and disregarding of my behavior. The lie is how I fared it today. I feel badly about it though. I wish I were normal.

I'm exhausted. Between attempting a med change that isn't going well and is making me really tired and having been to my niece's 5th birthday party yesterday I am just drained. I'm hoping a very lazy day today will help me tomorrow when I have to get up and go see my therapist. Last week I slept until it was 30 minutes too late to leave so I absolutely have to do this right tomorrow. I slept late, had a nap and could easily go back to sleep. Hope it's not depression playing around again...

My paranoia makes me trust no one.

People lie and think they can get away with it.

Like I can barely move. I'm so exhausted feel like I can barely put one foot in front of the other. And then, guilty, because I slept a lot and feel like I shouldn't need to sleep more, and when I see the list of things I've completed I think I should have gotten a lot more accomplished.

In the event this is about my post, I don't usually lie, which is why I forwardly admitted it. Feeling guilty and embarrassed.

I've been mainly depressed since I quit my job and am about to move. My depression is making it really hard for me to want to finish packing up my car. I'm going to do it though. I need to.

Bipolar is thankfully NOT affecting my life these days. I've been more or less stable for over 6 months, which is a personal record. Had a touch of hypomania a couple of months ago, a tiny bit of situational depression more recently, but nothing even remotely close to a mood episode since early January. It's sure good to be able to forget about being bipolar for a while, other than the twice daily medication regimen and writing my blog.

So far, today is a good day. I have hope, which is a good thing. I start my intensive partial hospitalization sessions today. 12 of the next 14 days I will be at the hospital from 9a-3p in therapy sessions. I'm looking forward to adding more tools to my toolbox.

Yesterday was not as good, but my husband helped make it better by having a TON of patience when I flipped out on a couple of stressors.
