Hi to everyone,
Thank you for the kind messages! I have so many blogs to post- but I’m snowed in without my computer! I am using my mother’s today. I have been going bonkers- it’s amazing how not having a car has messed up my schedule and caused depression.
I have really focused on getting better. All of the parties I was looking forward to were cancelled, including a Christmas Eve pot luck tonight. I forgot to bring enough Lamictal to my mom’s- I don’t have my Ativan in case I have sleep problems- I had two very serious down swings yesterday. It’s all RIDICULOUS! A friend of mine, who also has bipolar disorder called and said she was having a tough time as well!
This is why I had the holiday teleseminar last week! If you’re reading this and feeling depressed, never forget that this is a day just like any other day if you think about it. Also, if you’re depressed, you are not alone- many people are depressed right now. It’s a bipolar thing!
But, this doesn’t mean things have to stay this way. I took a long walk in the snow today with my mother. I got some work done, though it was tough. I made myself focus on what is going well and I made plans to go out with a friend tonight.
And… my mom has Lamictal as she takes it as well. So I was ok meds wise. If you’re planning a trip any time soon, be really careful about meds. It’s a good idea to take more with you than needed and put them in separate places in case luggage gets lost. I only went across town and managed to forget mine!
Hang in there if today is tough. Think of what you want tomorrow to look like. It’s never too late to plan something fun.
Julie
