I am missing the other signs of hypo/mania though. I usually experience heightened irritability and become rather snappy with a short fuse. I haven't noticed the talk a mile a minute signifier either. I've been able to stick to my budget without the urge to go over. Generally, I just feel unusually happy.
So happy you're doing well and all ready for Christmas. Hope you stay stable, it's a great place to be.

I've been depressed for about a week now. So all in all, feeling pretty horrible... but at least the depression didn't sneak up on me. I was hypo, then crashed.

During Christmas, I'm probably going to curl up into a ball in my bed and stay that way. I hate the holidays regardless of mood. My parents are anti-MI assholes

Went to church choir rehearsal with my youngest son. We are singing on Saturday and Sunday.

One more day treating a yeast infection (7 days)- I thought I'd run out of cream but it looks like I'll have just enough. Just.

Tomorrow is Friday lunch with friends. I'm bringing my daughter as she likes olive garden. I've been looking forward to going. I like fettuccine Alfredo.

Still just "weighting" for my blanket.

Yes, I will be okay. I mean I live at home with my parents, usually I am on my own with food and essentials etc because I pay my fair share. I told them how desolate I was this Christmas and they understand.

Thank you so much for your concern though!

I think I took an extra tablet of Lamictal accidentally since I find myself forgetting if I've taken different things since I have my AM, Afternoon, and Before Bed pills. I just discovered this. If it's the case where I took the other pill, then that would mean I took 600 mg of Lamictal today. I'm hoping this does not mess me up. Nothing I can do now.

Aside from that, I've been up, down, rather agitated, anxious, and a bit irritable, but coping.

Dreading Sunday. I keep watching the weather and hoping it will keep my sister and her husband home. Supposed to be icy that day. My luck those who live closer will stay home and my sister and her family with end up here over night. Ugh. She goes on and on with the pictures and stories of her first sun and how perfect he is. He left after he graduated from college and doesn't visit her, not even when he's in the same state. But he's on a pedestal as far as she's concerned, always going on and on right in front of her second son...all his life all he's heard is how perfect his brother is. Doesn't help he struggles with an MI. I feel like one day I will lose it with her and let her know how much she hurts he other son.

I'm irritable as ***k! My Dr's attempt to treat depression with Adderall
isn't working and it's only making me moody and irritable. It hasn't given me any boost "up" or feelings or euphoria or happiness. Now, I'm depressed and super irritable. I'm especially sensitive to noise. Even when someone talks to me, I can't wait for them to hurry up and finish what they're saying because the sound of their voice is shredding the ends of my every nerve. And that's a terrible thing to say. I feel so guilty for feeling like I want everyone to just shut up. Any noise is awful. I want to claw my way out of my own skin.

I have to go to my inlaws for Christmas. I'm dreading it. I don't know how I'm going to pull off an all day social marathon with other people.

Stuffed the stockings today. Did a load of laundry and made dinner in the slow cooker. Tomorrow I'm making cinnamon rolls from scratch and we're celebrating dinner and presents with the kids tomorrow night. On Christmas they will be at the boyfriend's parents house. It really sucks that they have to work today and tomorrow, but they're really good at their jobs so they get called in a lot. I'm not really hyper but I wish we can get this over with.

Had a weird day. Napped midday. My sleep has on and off and broken. I swear it's all over the place. Why the hell can't I just sleep at night and get up every day like a normal person?

Can't sleep. Stressed. Giggly. Irritable. Feel kinda manicky. I wanted to make a WRAP for myself since I'm up anyway, but decided I can't organize my thoughts well enough without a t to do it, plus, I'm not sure I actually have enough coping skills/self-management skills to make one. But I passed my CPC test...

I am feeling better than expected- despite it being christmas eve, and yesterday me not knowing what day it was (I posted in depression that the fact it's christmas just seems a really bad dream)
loneliness has all ready kicked in though, it sucks being on my own this time of year (it sucks being on my own all yearr, but especially around christmas)

I have the muppet's christmas carol to watch later, which is about the only exciting thing that's going to happen today probably.

Had a massive panic attack last night. My girlfriend got me through it.

Tonight is church with my family, and then Christmas with them tomorrow. I actually get to sleep on teh couch at their house tonight. This is a good thing. Life after seperation is a little strained sometimes.

Made cinnamon rolls from scratch for the kids this morning. Since they'll probably have a sucky day at work I gave them a nice head start. It was a lot of work for my husband and I but it was soon good.

Just resting up and studying until 5:30 PM, when we start making dinner.
Thanks for this!

Lots to do today. Grocery shopping, cleaning, wrapping. Feeling slightly overwhelmed. Going to try to just take it one thing at a time. Dealing with anxiety. Feeling kind of down. Having a fear that my family doesn't really want me around tomorrow. Mostly one person. Probably not true, but it's making me not want to go tomorrow. Probably wouldn't if it weren't for my son.

I'm dealing with a chronic migraine that I've had since Thanksgiving. Want to make it to Christmas mass tonight with my sis and hopefully over her house for dinner tomorrow. Have to see how I feel. We decided not to exchange gifts this year, everyone is struggling financially. Not into Christmas at all.

Wow haven't seen you in a while! How have you been? (I used to be PlatinumHeart).

Today started off rough, was a bit down. But feeling better now. Had a little nap and spoke to my best friend. Thinking about some food now.

Today is cleaning and baking day. Tomorrow is 17 people( way too many) then comes the real holiday when they all go home. Yeah I'm not a Christmas peoples. I prefer tiny get togetherness. Too many people make me dizzy. Small groups of people playing board games and just having a relaxing time is much more my speed.

Last Saturday I went to our family Christmas dinner, a black tie affair. I'm always nervous. I had a few bourbons and several Ativans. I had made it 14 months sober with a trip to Hazelden rehab last Christmas. I'm a recovering alcoholic and have worked very hard on my recovery this year....zillions of AA meetings so I am very disappointed in myself. But I have not had another drink. My son was very angry with me. We left before I made a fool of myself. I can't believe I drank, I'm a failure. It was the one thing I was good at, not drinking, now I have lost again.
