Feeling a little high. It was such a beautiful day, and I feel so privileged and lucky to be alive today. Just grateful that I have the means to buy groceries, can come home and turn the air conditioning on and be comfortable. I feel some guilt over my ex, but I think those feelings are normal.

Low and anxious. Not sure which feels worse. Anxiety or being low.

I really hope you come out of it soon @Crazy Hitch Thinking of you

Feeling a bit high, I think. Had a really good nap, and now I feel energized, ready for my online therapy appointment at 7pm.

I’m much better today than I have been all week. I’d say I’m comfortably in the middle. Part of that has been my hands shaking and not being able to sleep. I’m hoping that I don’t have the hand shaking that I had earlier in the week. I am therefore feeling hopeful.

Feeling a bit high again, I usually get like this at night when I am feeling pretty good. I am also a little hungry.

Right in the middle. Thinking of my husband and it's making me worried and sad. But this is part of the healing process.

I hope you feel better soon @raspberrytorte

A bit high, just been going and going on about 5 hours sleep average the past few nights. I don't know man, hope this isn't mania.

Hanging out in the middle, but on the low side a bit. Was really tired earlier, really hate how big I am in terms of weight. Wish I could lose some of this weight so bad.

@LadyShadow

I hear you about the weight situation. I'm starting to accept that size L/XL (depending on brand) is just my new normal. Sigh. And that I've gone up like four pants sizes. Ugh. So depressing. BOOHOO. Whatever. I guess Husband still finds me attractive. He actually told me I look better with a little bit of weight on me.

Anyway, I'm just a little above normal. Stabilizing back down to normal levels, though hypersexuality is still high.

I used to be accepting of my weight at 200 pounds. Being 50 pounds heavier than that is messing with me so bad. I think I have to start taking control of it. Thank you so much for being so supportive @raspberrytorte !!

I am hanging out in the middle today, trying to get some cleaning done, and spending some time to myself. Also did laundry.

I'm in the middle, pretty level though I feel as if my emotions are blunted due to meds. But I'm not having suicidal ideations, and I'm not manic, so that is a plus. I've been stable almost a month. Sigh. I've gained weight too, but I guess hanging out at 125 lb. is not a tradegy by any means. But I used to be 110 lb. (sigh).

I'm kind of low because I don't feel good physically. I've tried various meds and a nap. I just have a headache bordering on a migraine right now.

I am hanging out in the middle after a rough start this morning. Will start writing again to keep myself busy, and try to sort out some things that I have been neglecting. Just trying to be kinder to myself has been a challenge this week.
