I just dropped my mom off so she can go along on vacation with my sister's family to our favorite place in the world (Outer Banks) to help with the kids. If I were well I would have been going but instead I'm home here alone and not even able to watch my mom's dogs who are stuck in a kennel for a week because of this.
It wouldn't be so bad if this weren't the 2nd Outer Banks trip this episode has made me miss. My aunt took everyone there on a memorial trip for my uncle this spring and I had to back out because this episode was raging then too. I'm just so tired of this. I miss my LIFE. I want to be me again.

I understand. There is a trip coming up that I'm going to have to miss due to my MI, as well. It is hard for those of us left behind.
I'm sorry you are having to miss the trip. And I hope you feel better soon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Oh, but this isn't one I want to skip....For one thing my family has been through hell in the last 18 months and is divided in half and eventually one person will probably go to prison for a potentially long time. And that changes how you view family time. But it's also time I'm missing with my nieces, who are growing up fast. The oldest is in kindergarten so this will be the last school year trip for her. I love being with them and I haven't seen her in a long time because of how I've been feeling. And the time we have together and the routines we have with vacation, those aren't things I want to miss, ever, much less twice in a year.
There are family things I want to avoid. But not this. This is precious, precious time. And it is being stolen by bipolar.

Same boat. I miss a lot of vacations events concerts for the same reasons. It sucks. It's gotten to the point that I never plan anything bc I don't want to disappoint. Sometimes I can push myself to smaller things where I know if it gets bad I can leave but I feel good I tried. Vacation is tough, no escape.
