I hope I spelled that right, spell check gas made me a horrible speller! I am talking non-medicated BP?? I know I was definitely the a monster and way to capable of almost anything.

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...
I am upping the meds as I write. Gawd it takes a long time to be that happy in the middle person with emotions that happen at a normal earthly level.
Bipolar is more like Pollyanna...the world is wonderful, beautiful; you have boundary issues, you do things you know you shouldn't because they can lead to heavy consequences, you get in trouble, you feel bummed to the hilt, and then one day everything is all hunky dory again.
Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde are opposite sorts. People w/bipolar have a huge range of emotions and feel them all intensely. If I knew someone who thought of themselves as Dr.Jekyl/Mr.Hyde, I would suspect borderline personality disorder or schizophrenia, IMHO.
