Feeling Funny

I have been feeling really weird today. It's hard for me to explain. I feel high as a kite and have been for quite a few days.

I want so much to be on an even keel but right now it's not happening.

I guess in some ways I am still in denial that I have bipolar. It makes me feel confused and not knowing what is happening with my body at times.

I am also having a little panic but not as much as I had before. I have been taking my Ativan and I even took two today to control my panic.

I am trying so hard to stay positive, but it's hard at times when this illness takes a toll on your body and you don't know whether you're coming or going.

Stay strong. It really does feel like a war sometimes. If you continue to feel funny talk to your pdoc. Goodluck:)

It sure is a weird feeling when you are running high and don't know what kind of chemical your brain will kick out next. Never a dull moment. Just keep on keeping on I guess is what they say.

whether you are having a manic, or a panic attack, you are doing just the right thing. You are taking your meds and staying in touch with people who care, here on DS.
It will pass, I promise. :-)

    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...
