My OCD is acting up. Darn bipolar. How do I keep my excitement level normal so that I can SLEEP? That is the question. You guys know me. You know my philosophy. But just for once, can’t I get excited without getting sick too! I can and will learn to live and be stable and have fun and SLEEP. Julie
PS. Well, reality bites. Just closed my World Cup Twitter account because it was getting too successful. Only bipolar could make me ill because I got too excited.
I need to focus on writing as it is the one thing I can do that doesn’t cause symptoms. I’ve been managing bipolar disorder for a long time. It’s always a struggle when something new shows up and I have to see if my brain can handle the change. Sometimes it can. I’m able to travel and speak professionally, for example. But sometimes it can’t. It seems to be the situations where I’m waiting to hear from others about something I’ve said or done are the main problem. I’m still learning how to better manage this illness!
