I don’t know what’s up. I couldn’t fall asleep until 2am and now I’m flying high on only 4.5 hours of sleep. I don’t know if it was just because I was excited about seeing nv today or if I’m still, still hypomanic. Now that I’m a bit more awake I definitely feel the magic again!!! I’ve been getting my work done, I finally finished all my work! Soooo excited for the weekend!!!! I don’t even care that I have to come in on two days of spring break, without that time I would have never finished my work so it all works out.

I feel ****ing amazing and I never want it to end as long as I don’t get too high again!

I actually slept a whole 7ish hours last night thanks to Ambien. It was interrupted but still much better. I'm feeling stable and excited because I'm going skiing later. I just wish the ski area opened earlier so I could be on the slopes now!

Werid dreams. Was in China to help dogs but wasn't allowed off the plane. Set up a bed for my 90 yr old mum. Just as I was making progress the alarm went off!

Still hypomanic. Got a little more sleep last night, around 5 hr.

Went to a small student of the month ceremony for my daughter this morning.

Finally got a good nights sleep as I took the day off. I didn’t get enough sleep on work nights this week although last night I did two yoga classes after work and I did get enough sleep so I’ll try that next week.

I wonder why the bipolar has a check in thread. Is that particular to bipolar? We tried check in threads on the ptsd forums but they aren’t as widely populated .

I don't think it is unique to bipolar; I'm pretty sure I've seen them on other boards. Ours probably moves faster than most though since we are a busy board with a lot of consistent participants.

I only lost a pound! I'm so disappointed. On other diets in the past i would lose several pounds the first week. I figure it's because i drank lots of water. Other diets i haven't so part of the big number the first week was probably water weight loss. At least i know this time it was flesh. Oh well, one pound a week was my goal, so i have met my quota. It just seems for all the hunger i endured it could have been more.

Yet another day closer to my first job interview. This will be the first in many many years. I have interviewed maybe three times in my life prior to this. They already know I am on disability. I hope I do not need to tell them why. I will walk a couple miles today. I will try to make the difference up by consuming a bit more food. I have been really depressed over the past week. The walking seems to be helping.

Update: I have put in the first half of a mile of exercise. I am finding myself tired. I do not know if I am ready to go on my two mile walk. However, this walking has been helping me. Over the years, there are many here who have posted that exercise is important. I acknowledged this to be true. But I still did not exercise. Perhaps due to depression. Perhaps due to laziness on my part. Now this has changed for me. I highly recommend exercise. I found it to be able to lift part of my depression which is a good thing.

Didn't do much so far today, but it took up a bunch of time. Husband and I put dinner in the crockpot to cook. I worked out for 30 minutes on the treadmill then took a shower. The family went to the credit union to get new cards, then out for lunch. Started a load of laundry after my husband's shower. I was going to be working on pictures but other plans popped up.

We're picking up groceries tomorrow since we're not going to have as much snow as originally anticipated. Then cleaning Sunday and new T on Monday.

Sounds boring but I'll take it. Better than loads of anxiety and ending up in IP.

Mood is good.

Boring? I enjoy reading about your working together with your H, your cooking, cleaning, your children, your writing, your creating loops, your participation in a fashion show, etc. I think it's all pretty neat!

Being Bipolar has been absolutely FANTASTIC lately, haha. I know, like most of you all, I have been cursing this damn illness from here to Kingdom Come ever since I was first diagnosed. But the gifts we have BECAUSE we are bipolar are SO INCREDIBLE when they come out all bright and shiny and full of creativity and life!!

Having a strict sleep and eating schedule, combined with the right medication, can make a person with a Bipolar Illness accomplish MONUMENTAL things where the average person cannot. I am absolute living proof of that, truly.

If I can make it to this state of "Nirvana" with my Bipolar 1 diagnosis, anyone can!!

Sending you all hugs and good vibes!!

My son told ME that I’M too hyper LOL my son my hyper *** son told me that I’m too hyper!!!! That’s hysterical! And true, for sure. Haven’t been able to sit still all day. Either tapping, rocking, or pacing. Music playing in my head all day!!! Got kinda annoying. Laughing, talking, joking. Great day!

Now it’s just time to find something to do until nv comes up! He’s taking me to a Puerto Rican restaurant to eat. I’ve never had Puerto Rican food. I’m really excited!

My mother was here then left. Now, I'm all alone again. The good thing is while she was here my voices left too. I'm now coherent and stable. I feel good. She was really helpful and helped me clean my apartment. Now, it feels really clean. I am hoping to keep it clean!

Very confused feelings rights now. Had an excellent night with nv. I didn’t want him to leave. I’m confused because I feel so similarly about him as I did my late husband. He’s of similar build (though not similar looks) as well. So when I was laying with him tonight I suddenly felt like I was laying with my husband again. It freaked me out. Made me think the only reason I like this guy so much is because I want him to be a replacement for my husband. But I don’t think that’s true.

I still have soooo much to work through in order to heal. I just hope this guy is willing to take the journey with me. And if not, we’ll, at least he got me to start it.
