Bipolar Depression

I’m Miserably Unhappy

I woke up with this thought the other day- I’m miserably unhappy. Just great. Things have been going so well, and then the depression thoughts started to creep in. The first one was – Everyone in Portland is doing fun things. I had this thought as I was WALKING TO A DINNER PARTY! Then I got the feeling that I would never be rewarded for all of my hard work. Finally, I had a down swing yesterday that lasted a few hours.

So, the signs were there. I was ready for the downswing as it was obviously on its way!

I hate them.  They are especially hard to take when things have been going well.

I have an illness and I can never forget that. If I remember it always, I can prepare and not be so shocked when I get sick.
