This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I don't know what's up but I'm not feeling too hot right now.
I just moved house and I'm feeling a bit para and down from everything
organising a night that is giving me stress cause I don't want it to fail but I don't know if I can pull it off either
I'm not great at expressing myself in writing, as you might have noticed
I never meant to piss anyone off last week but I think I succeeded my post got 91 hits
my brother was trying to pick a fight with me the last time I saw him that's bugging me and I got drunk on red wine which is a no-no for me and picked a fight with my bf in the new house so I don't know if my new neighbours heard it (cringe) I shouldn't touch red wine it makes me bonkers
my mum died three years ago next week I still feel lost since I spoke with her every 2 or 3 days and I miss her so much
I don't want to be depressed lost friends that way too! as well as when I was too manic.
just a bit fed up with life at the moment and hope it's not the dreaded d coming on.
brought my meds down because I was getting a weird thing with my hand going into a sort of cramp and it made me very anxious
could it be the med adjustment? now I take only 10mg of abilify it was 15mg's before but that's just in the last 3 day's I brought it down
I wish I was more enthusiastic but I just can't seem to shake this feeling right now.
any suggestions are welcome and thanks for reading

Your thread did not piss anyone off, humanity takes a life of it's own - no help needed. :/
I'm sorry to read so many struggles - yes, external/situational triggers can wreak Havoc with us.
I don't have so much to say this morning, except Hang In There - the hand cramps may well be related to the change in Abilify, but not sure, of course....
It is only Natural for you to feel uncomfortable with things atm, but you well know it doesn't stay this way. Hold on tight, dear. :/
I agree with GTTM-that this is natural to feel out of sorts and that you should forgive yourself.
I call what you are going through being "jangly."
just haven't realised the paintings yet
I just went through a small med change in hopes that it would make me less flat. Well, it did the trick, because now I am falling into a depression! I'm definitely not flat anymore! So even the minor med changes can have a big effect. I was told to just hang in there and give it a chance to even itself out. So, I would say the same for you. Maybe the way you feel is a combo of a lot of things going on, meds being one of them. I just hope it settles down soon for you.
Sorry to hear that you are missing your mother. :( I think ekat's idea is a great one and you already have some ideas...so go for it! May be a very healing exercise. Something you could do every year at this time.
I hope the night you're organizing goes well!!! Don't forget!!! You have successful experience in this area!!!!
You're mistaken about your ability to express yourself in writing!!! You do quite well!!! Don't censor yourself!!!
Ah!! Cringing after drinking!!! I've been there!!! Yes, I suppose it's best if you can refrain from drinking anything that makes you bonkers!!!!!
I'm glad you have a vision of what you want to do to remember your mom and your dad. My sympathies on your loss.
I don't know if the med is causing your hand cramps. Dehydration can cause cramps too, so make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids if you aren't already.
Wishing you the best and hoping you're feeling better soon!!! (((((Comforting Hugs)))))
the inner critic is running amok
