Didn't get out of bed till 1:30. Took a shower though and got out for one errand. Trying to motivate, but it's like I don't know what to do with myself.

Good luck with your new job!

HI @Brentus this was a week ago. I am sorry your better days did not last that long.
I am here if you want to PM me.
Being bipolar we have our ups and downs which is the nature of the disorder.

I’m sorry your feeling lonely. Please don’t delete your acct here , maybe just take a break from PC ? I need to do it every now and then. I would really miss you if you leave.

Hang in there

We got half way home and they called and asked why we took the double sized bedspreads. You can’t make this stuff up. This is a timeshare that we’ve owned for many years and they know us. Still...I can’t prove I didn’t take them and may end up paying some exorbitant rate for two bedspreads. The king sized was not taken.


Really miffed and glad I’ll have a day to process before going back down Sunday to discuss this with them.


Home safely and well rested.


Warm wishes and hugs to all.

Glad you had a great time !! Lol that’s crazy thinking you stealing bedspreads !! Hope that gets sorted out.

I think the last time I posted in here it was about barely sleeping for nearly a week, then having hallucinations from not getting enough rest. To update, my seroquel has been increased and I have been sleeping great every night and it feels wonderful!

My mood has been very good and I've been pretty motivated and productive. I don't feel agitated anymore thankfully

I’m sorry you’re sad. I hope you feel better soon. Can you think of anything to do to make yourself feel any joy?

I can cook and clean anytime day or night so my being a night owl is no big deal. I worked night shift for years.

I’m still doing well off my psych meds , the physical meds I have dropped? I guess Lyrica does help my pain in a small way , but really not that much ..... haven’t decided if I want to go back on it or not right now. The muscle relaxer apparently has no effect so I’ll stay off that one.

My husband finished modifying the deck. All that’s left is a good pressure wash then paint and stain. This week is supposed to be all dry , I’m excited to see it finished.

Does anyone here use Ibotta ? I started using it about 6 months ago and just with my normal items shopping I have saved up about 125.00 , we requested our money to be put on restaurant gift cards. So will be a nice treat to be able to go out a numerous times. It’s very simple to use just download the app.

Hugs to all

I’m glad you’re still doing well off meds. I hope to be able to do that some day.

That sounds so weird that they are accusing you. But I’m glad you got home safe and feel rested

I told him that I think my increased activity is just tiring me out by the end of the days. It is nice to be more and more active, while stable, and not just because of mania.


I started a diet for myself and hubby the day before yesterday. It's going very well so far. I hope it continues to do so.


Wishing everyone a pleasant weekend and relief from any pain or stress.

What an amazing update! I’m glad you’re feeling rested and you are being active without being manic. I hope this continues for you!

It feels so nice to get up early and not be extremely tired. And you can’t go wrong with Starbucks!

Welcome! This forum is great. You will find lots of support here.

On a different note I’ve not had any alcohol for 2-3 yrs and boy do I miss it.

Wow it’s great that you enjoyed your holiday!

Keep strong with your avoidance of alcohol if that’s what you need.

I slept horribly last night despite all of my bed time routines and medications.

I’m currently hanging with my daughter who is the love of my life and she brings me so much joy.

My parents are coming over at some point to help me do some stuff to get my backyard ready for grass. It’s a bit of a mess right now. But I look forward to having a nice area for myself to sit and read and for my daughter to play.

[liveforsummer]

On Monday I asked myself, “what’s wrong?”

I could only answer, “nothing and everything all at the same time. “

I know I haven’t posted hardly at all this year. I honestly feel I’ve had nothing of value to say.

But I do think of everyone here and wish for better days and less struggles for everybody

Heading back down. Not sure I really want to. The wedding was lovely. Good time had by all. Only two flies in the ointment: I fell this morning taking out the trash on a slick ramp and twisted my ankle. It is swelling and bruising but I can walk on it so I’m going ahead and I’ll see somebody down there if it gets worse. The second thing is my daughter is in about a foul a mood as I’ve ever seen her. God bless the Kindle! Going to handle her gently and read most of the trip.

I hope everybody has a peaceful week.

Warm wishes and hugs to all.

I've been doing okay and had an average weekend

managed to get out to town on friday for a bit (even if it was raining, hard!)

I just wish at the moment the chronic pain wasn't so bad. it is very bad at the moment

probably need to eat better too, on friday and saturday I had takeout (well, the new chip shop next to me is so addictive, I can't resist) and today I had chicken

but oh well. it's what you like I guess

I ended up cleaning my whole apartment today. Also studying some stuff on Khan Academy till I'm ready to start taking classes again at my college. Had to take the past semester off due to mental health issues. Nice free way to learn about various subjects in depth, it's a lot of fun. I'm also really enjoying my new video game, and also a book I'm reading called "The Water Will Come" by Jeff Goodell 😃
