I'm having a really, really good day today....in fact it's spinning higher and higher, and maybe I should go meditate or something? Because the worry that it's all gonna go kaboom! is nagging at me now.
Anyone else having this experience? It's the best Thanksgiving Day I've had in two or four or whatever years....I am afraid...... |

are you on meds. You might need bipolar meds not to go kaboom. If you go kaboom, go and mastrabate when you go kaboom.

I'm the same way. If anything is good, I start dreading that it will stop. I've been told to stay present, in the moment. Don't worry about what's coming, just enjoy what is.

So far, I'm okay. I stayed at "the dinner" for three hours. Now I'm home and alone, and I needed that. Maybe that's a strategy: time in company, riding the high, then get home and calm down. We shall see!

Thanks for asking! Well........did okay until 7:15-ish, which is about 2 1/2 hours later than when I wrote, I think. Then, ka-boom! I was exhausted. I've been slumped in a chair watching hagiographic martial arts movies with my husband and thinking that I belong in bed, but not wanting to disappoint him on one of his few good days with me. Now, I"m cranky, pissy, looking for a fight. BUT, what I'm going to do is go do bed. Turn out the lights, try to make the room absolutely black, as quiet as possible, and try not to think about tomorrow...Still, it was a good day, and I will remember it. And I am grateful for it. Feel like crying, but I know I am very, very tired. So...to bed. I'm trying to learn to try the obvious, everyday remedies first (then panic)!

It's good to have that awareness that moods are not static, that they will fluctuate and that is okay. When you feel it happening, reassure yourself that change in mood is inevitable and it isn't failure or lack of will: it is absolutely normal and just how we humans are

That's great that you had a good day! I actually felt "normal" yesterday and had a good day as well. I was good until about 7:30, should have gone to bed, but stayed up and watched a football game with my husband. I guess it's exhausting to have a good day. Good for you for going to bed instead of panicking first. I'm hoping for another good day today. We'll see. Take care of yourself and keep trying to do the obvious, everyday remedies first.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
