I am sorry for this belated reply. Yes, this can explain what happened. However, in even more stressful situation, this has never happened to me before. Maybe being on disability for so long, I am not that same person anymore. I hope this will not turn out to be the case in my future.

The ER categorized this episode as a conversion disorder. As you know, this is where anxiety manefests itself in physical ways. I was shaking so much, and almost emotionally lost it there in front of the judge and policeman. He wanted us to play lawyers and cross examine each other. This was a bit too much for me. After his ruling, I thanked the judge, and the judge even thanked me by name. Interesting.

Moving along here, my day is turning out to be OK. My walking exercise has helped me with depression. I took one week to get around to grocery shopping. I almost completely ran out of food. I have been very depressed. I have not been cleaning up after myself, and have things scattered around the house. Not a good situation to be in.

Feeling almost normal today. Thank goodness. Can't wait to go up on my mood stabilizer. So ready to balance this s*** out. The yo-yoing is annoying.

Went to the orthopedic surgeon's with my mom this morning.
Spent late afternoon in the dentist's chair -- 3 hours. I am starting to thaw out now... ouch!
Have had a migraine brewing all day long, just nagging away at me. It is getting worse now... double ouch! Lol!

I am going to bed early tonight!

Love to All!

I have my first job interview this coming Monday. It will be the first since at least thirty years ago. I have only interviewed twice in my life. I also have been on disability for fifteen years. I am quite nervous about it. I told them I am on disability, so I have income restrictions. What if they ask about my disability? What should I say? Back pain? Migraines? Or that it is just something I will not talk about?

I don't think you need to worry. They would have an assessment made out from your history no? Anyway best of luck for a happy outcome.

So maybe I should tell them the truth? Boy, that will be an uncomfortable several minutes. Well, if they do not hire me, I have learned something. I will get some interviewing experience. The glass half full, correct?

Today was so stressful! Had to call AAA because I hit something on the road, and my tire was going flat. It was on a dangerous road. Luckily, I was able to get enough air in it and get to a gas station, and I do not need a whole new tire, but this all happened on my lunch break at work. As far as my laptop goes, the people who are fixing my laptop did not pick up the phone when they called me to confirm a few things, so I have to call them tomorrow in order for them to finish. I'm just trying to cool off and relax. It's been a long day. Tomorrow is supposed to be a pretty stressful day at work full of long meetings. For some reason, I have become more anxious being in rooms of people more so than usual. Hopefully the day will go fast enough.

They can't ask you about disability. personally i would not tell them you have bipolar; I've done that and it never worked out well. Disability is a nice, general word..

Another tough but good day in dieting. That makes seven! A whole week! WOOHOO!!! I weigh-in tomorrow morning for the first time. Eee! Hope to have some good news for you!

It was our first Spring-like day here, with warm sun. I sat out in the dog park in my parka with my dog on my lap to enjoy the sun and listen to music and then took her for a stroll. I was awoken early this morning by some awful reno noise so i'm going to bed early. Still not feeling the slightest bit hypomanic and it's usually due by Easter. Oh well, there's still time! Aces, Jane.
