Feeling good. Bored but good. Going to a friend's Monday. My son and I are going to clean tomorrow, so I might have her over sooner. Still miss hypos. Sleeping on less meds, but still need that last 2.5 mgs of zyprexa to sleep. I think I'm gonna have to stay on that much.

Overall all is good....

I seem to work in small bursts. I go all in and get a bunch of writing done, then I have to stop, then I go at it again, and so on and so forth. I was getting a lot done, but then I started getting what I call a hunger headache so I stopped to eat. Now I have the sleepy tired feeling (the itis) and only want to sleep. Struggling to try and make it through these next three hours..

Feeling more depressed than yesterday. Seems to have gotten significantly worse to the point I've considered going to IP if it stays bad in the coming days, but then I realized my insurance probably won't cover it and I don't want to take FMLA. Money is a problem for me.

I thought my rapid cycling was over, but I guess not. :|

c'est la vie

Like an inflatable statue of Zeus made from some permeable material. There are holes in it, patched, but sometimes the stitches break and it deflates in seconds and it has to be mended. Inflating, deflating, inflating, deflating. Daily.

Edit: uhm, you have to see it.

But at least I don't have time for a personality. Much. Or I'm too distracted to notice.

And my antipsychotic keeps it all rather reasonable.

But I proved it: serotonin is evil.

I was asked to start work next week....two ekes early! Things are really looking good......but in the back of my mind I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm not manic, not even hypo but still.......there's that nagging feeling that things are going too well.

I feel good
I feel fine
I feel understood
I feel life is mine
And it feels great to finally...dare I say it...find the right mix of meds....

Yeah I'm back. I just watched one of my nerdy Science Channel shows without being bored but instead I enjoyed it. I haven't felt like this in so long.

Want to start volunteering and just so much. Can't wait! Wide awake tonight...listening to music hang in with my son.

you are going to be just fine. We always have to stay on our toes and watch our backs....only we can truly know how we are doing and be proactive about it.
Good luck!

I hurt everywhere. I worry depression is setting in but might be a flair of my fibromyalgia. I hurt everywhere. Pain in every cell of my being. Still not smoking and maybe this is withdrawl symptoms on top of fibro. Just hope it's not depression.

"I am manic", pick, "I am not manic", pluck, "I am manic.", pluck. Tired, not tired, tired, not tired. Depressed, not depressed.

God breathes spirit in and out of my soul.

I am feeling good at the moment.
A week in the sun in Mexico did me a world of good.
Swimming, fishing and lounging in the sun.
I feel better than I have in a very long time.

So my husband and I are doing a trial separation. My mom is mad at me and says I need to snap out of this bipolar and get my act together. She hasn't spoken to me in over a week and we used to talk every day. I'm so angry.

But I've been working with T about not owning things that are other people's problems so I'm trying to just not let it get to me. I had a good day yesterday so some of it must be sinking in.
