wow. I always write about preparing for travel way ahead of time in order not to get sick on a trip. Well, I did what I could and have still had a tough time. Not bad though! I’m visiting a very good friend in Texas. Her family is so stable and happy. It makes me see that I need more stability in my life in Portland. Things are so different back home. My family is often unhappy and it’s stressful. I do what I can, but I’m still around it because I love them! Also, I realize I am alone too much. Being around people helps me- so what can I do to be around more people? It’s a constant struggle as I can’t work in an office setting! I am going to create a plan for this in the next few weeks.
And finally, how can I get my sleep regulated when I am going to a party tonight for New Year’s where I know I will be up at least until 2? This is a big problem for me. I have to think of something now. I love parties, but I really, really need to be in bed earlier as I have to drive to San Antonio tomorrow.
I want to be someone who can travel the world and not worry about mood swings and meds and sleep!
Julie

i have mixed bipolar disorder – so anxiety often plays a big part in my life… and that certainly applies to traveling. it’s difficult because i *want* to travel, but my own fears hold me back. i’m working on fixing this, though.
great blog! happy new year!
