Wide awake at 4:30 AM. Up all night chatting with anything male. Almost invited one over. Luckily chickened out, but the impulse was there. Need to control this. Can't ruin my life again.

Driving around aimlessly, not totally coherent.

Eating like there's no tomorrow. But then...that one symptom isn't new for me OK so maybe I am Bipolar...

Yikes. Ok. Need to stop this.

Just upped my dose of Zoloft to 100 mg. Only been on it 2 weeks, started at 25 mg. Shouldn't be effecting me that much yet....should it??

Or am I just making this all up?

Dunno what to believe anymore.

Sounds like rapid cycling to me. I am bipolar too and i find myself having days/weeks/sometimes MONTHS cycling for what seems like for EVER. but ride it out. it will tame down. and in about 4 days. the crash will come. YOu will have no energy, and thats normal. Hope this helps.

I kept thinking it was Borderline but after this weekend I'm not so sure anymore.

And I'm too new with my therapist & psych nurse to feel comfortable calling them. I know I should, but...grr....sometimes I'm too shy.

Hi Razzleberry OK so maybe I am Bipolar...

Sorry if this irritates you coz i say it to a lot of people...if you're not comfortable calling them, why don't you write it down and mail it or drop it in their mailbox/thru the letterbox.

Hope things settle down for you soon. OK so maybe I am Bipolar... OK so maybe I am Bipolar...

Oh it doesn't irritate me! Don't worry. Probably a good idea. Maybe I'll send an email. It's just that it's the weekend so I hate to bug them but yeah, I know...I should.

Maybe I'm just making myself this way, since I know the symptoms now. I don't know.

But the whole weekend, I didn't sleep much...and I'm not really tired. That is NOT me!! I am an OVER-sleeper. But this morning, woke up at 5 AM, got ready for work, not tired at all.

Got in a really pissy mood at my husband yesterday. He didn't answer a simple question and I flipped out and left the room.

But...I was fine, normal, all day earlier yesterday with my daughter. Sunday is my favorite day because I get to spend all day with her, alone - hubby is at work. I took her to the park, we had a little picnic, fed some birds, took the dog for a walk. It was the greatest day. I was fine. Maybe even happy.

Today just kinda numb. Not depressed really, but a little anxious about work. I have been slacking off and there is a huge project I need to finish but I just can't sit down and DO it!! My thoughts keep wandering, and I end up online. Need to stop this.

It's like I'm leading a double life. There's the side of me that is the loving mother and wife and hard-working employee...then there is the side of me that slacks off at work all day and does crazy stupid things when I'm alone. Stuff that could really ruin my life. But I still do it.
