Does it sometimes

seem like you wait so long for a good day for your anxiety to ease and then when that day does come your mind seems to start looking for something to worry about? That bugs me. And then I was thinking that the days I felt invincible were the days when my anxiety simply eased up, but apparently I was wrong. My doc says that this is grandiose thinking. It's so hard to read my symptoms. Anyone else this way? Just don't wanna feel alone.

No your not alone at all Wylde...I use tobe the same...Now after many years and ulcers I ten to just take the days as they come...I have been very stable for a while now had a day not solong back...But I take the days the way they fall...When its a great day its a great, when its a crappy day its a crappy day...One thing to remember is that they are all just moments in time and they dont define you...Wht does define you is the ablity to pick yourself up after a bad day brush yourself off and get on with it all again, no matter what it may bring...

It seems to me that anxiety is a requirement to have BP. If we dont have something to be anxious about we feel like something is wrong. Per my shrink its because I think everything is my fault, and I should be responsible for everyone else. Well, WE deserve to have good days, anxiety free days, and to not think of ourselfs as just people with BP, we are a whole person, not defined by our illness. Live, Love, Learn, and let yourself have fun!

I get those days...actually...I think I have rapid cycle...or something. Cause I'm usually stuck on a speeding merry-go-round. GRRRRR!!! 360's suck!! Especially when you're dizzy, tired...and then all of a sudden...it's time for the bumper cars. Whoo hoo!!!

Oh, sorry...yeah...you're not alone...I love you!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
