I have a presentation today and I woke up with so little energy and no creativity. Because of that I feel so unprepared and uncertain. I just feel empty, like something gobbled up every bit of emotion I have. Why did it have to be today, of all days?

I feel like just not going but I can't leave my group members hanging like that. Why am I feeling like this again???

Feelings come and go but a good way to deal with them is to go ahead and do what we have planned. The next feeling will be along soon.

I'm sorry iam! Tommy is right, you know. The next feeling will be along soon. I know you're dealing with a lot, esp the blow of your appt being postponed, but you can push through, you can do it :) ((hugs))

*taps foot* I swear, you need to see that nice doctor SOON. You're going to run through the Entire Gamut of bipolar emotions in One Fell Swoop and have to go back to the Beginning again :/

....What to do with you...

(((((HUGS)))))

Door is right! You traced the entire spectrum and you NEED to see that freaking pdoc NOW!

You'll do great in the presentation - because you know what you're doing. And having a group takes some of the pressure off, if I'm understanding You correctly.

Be good to yourself and do what feels right! Soon, iam, soon!

Thanks guys. I went ahead with the presentation mostly for the sake of my group and it was ok. Feeling better thanks to my mum calling to remind me she's coming to pick me up and take me home tomorrow. Hmm, don't think I really know the BP spectrum.

I bet once you get there, it's all gonna come back to you.

Good luck!
