This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Ok In my opinion Im not Off the top but I am discovering my self... I just HAVE to share... Stop reading if you dont want to know who I think I am finding... ANY opinion will be read and thought about some taken to heart. I know some post will be positive some negative... sone telling me to go to my journal... but I am so excited I just want to share... so share I will
I have been in ONE (yes one) mood for a whole 2 weeks. Some maybe thinking ok.... and??? well I have rapid cycled for 20 (yes TWENTY) years. I HAVE/HAD no clue who I was past pain induced depression and FMS and bouncing all over the place emotionally. Befor a few days ago I couldnt even tell you nice things about me... I couldnt define characteristics about my self. Well maybe I am a bit hypo-manic... I realize this is possible... but still *2* whole weeks... I want to shout from the top of the highest building I could find. I can live with this hypomania... I could live with me if this is ME!!! Either way at least for now its good to be me.
I have found a person that is Funny, whitty, thoughtful, thought provoking, spontanious, nice to be around, not defined by pain, laughter fills my soul. I am a better Mother and Wife. I am not my illness and I am finding new peices of me everyday.
I still have anxiety, a tad of irritability (but PMS is around the corner I am a woman after all) I still dont have all the energy I need to clean right. I take a crap load of pills but I take them so willingly as I fear the old me. I know in time I will have relapses I am not cured but at least I am finding out who I am more and more every day.
Ok rant over ;p

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...
Wow, that sounds awesome! Good for you! I'd LOVE to be consistent for 2 weeks, hypomanic beats the hell out of depressed or flat out manic. I'm lucky to get 2 or 3 good days in a row. Hey, if it's pleasant, roll with it! Congrats :)
