I’ve had WAY to many mood swings in the last six weeks- i counted 23 on my daily mood swing chart. That’s too many. I’m examining what is going on in my life so that I can really stay focused on my bipolar disorder treatment plan. But it’s hard. Writing a blog seems like too much of an effort! But I know it’s not. It’s a lot more effort to not do something. I had a choice when I walked into my house- to worry about being to sick to look at my email and do a blog- or to do it and save the hours of worry I would have that I’m not working enough. Speaking of working, I haven’t been able to work very consistently for the past six weeks- but I keep going. It’s better than not working at all! <\/p>\n

I feel better when I get things done. I’m off to see a friend for dinner. I will not focus on how sick I have been, but I will tell her about it. She’s a good listener and story teller, so I’ll let her set the mood of the evening. <\/p>\n

I hope that you are doing ok and can get inspiration from this blog. There are so many great comments from readers that are really inspirational. We all experience the same symptoms with bipolar disorder because it’s an illness. Most of the time it’s not our lives that are the probem- it’s not us- it’s not anything personal. It’s an illness. <\/p>\n
