I've posted several threads in the last few weeks about how very depressed and despondent I was. I thought I'd give you a positive update.
I saw my pdoc yesterday and was actually crying and sobbing in her office. I was having a hard time making eye contact. She and my husband were talking about what we could all do to avoid the hospital. Today I wake up and feel good! My head feels clear and I feel like making plans. I'm not off the couch much but I did get a shower and wash my hair so I am ready for anything I'm able to do tomorrow. Tomorrow I have a few things I could do: go to church, see an uncle, get nails done, and go out to dinner with out of town friends. However, if I wake up and feel dark again, I don't have to do any of it. I had a phone session yesterday with my tdoc. Nice person that she is, she asked me to text her every day till I talk to her again and let her know how I am. Today I texted her and told her I felt good. She wrote back that sometimes the cycle just "breaks" on its own. I'm also wondering about the increase last week in meds: from 2.0 to 3.0 of Rexulti and from 100 to 300 mg of Wellbutrin. I'm really enjoying feeling slightly elevated today, but negative person that I am, I am worried about tomorrow. How will I feel? Is it okay to make plans with other people for a few days out? Or is that black cloud going to return? But you know, even a day's break is a blessing.

Made it to church, visiting my uncle, and getting my nails done. Am going to watch a baseball game on TV.
Don't know if I'll go out to dinner tonight. I still feel pretty weak and feel like I've had a big day already. But I still feel good. No depression. Well, wait.... I made the mistake of glancing in the mirror at the nail salon. I just look terrible. I look so old and really sort of ravaged. Bipolar has not been kind to me. But maybe I can do something to look better. I'll have to think.

Glad to hear things are looking up. Don't worry about tomorrow, it will take care of itself. Seriously. We can't predict what's going to go on tomorrow, so just focus on living until you go to bed tonight.
