This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
ANd of course, I feel happy.
i might be getting better, because things might be getting "lighter" day by day
part of me wants to feel like i did when i was 8 years old on christmas eve
but
i need to be a little more realistic and set my expectations more reasonably
I truly don't know if I can do so intelligently, but I can describe what happened to/for me as of 3 days ago.
I woke up and had a sense of well-being. For the first time in months, I had energy and actually WANTED to do things that needed doing. And my brain functioned so much better than it had been!!! I was much more clear headed and my short term memory was much improved! I think I've gotten more accomplished in the last 3 days than I did in a whole month, prior!!
And it was also a bit of surprise!! I thought, "OmiGod! I forgot that I ever felt this way!!!"
I tend to go in 3 month cycles, so I'm hoping this current state of affairs continues!! I fully intend to enjoy it for as long as it lasts!!!!
Take care and good luck. I suppose it's different for everyone, but for however it's going to be for you, I hope it happens soon!!!
It does feel foreign if I've been depressed for a long while, but it's such a relief! I love the days I wake up wanting to do something - not having that doom and gloom hanging in the room.
Not sure if that's intelligently written, but I do the best I can with this BP brain! :)
