Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
i've been keeping this mood chart for a month now and it really helps.
like, it's helped me to see that even if i drink one glass of wine it affects my mood the next day.
and if i sleep less than 8 hours, my mood is affected too.
yesterday i had about 6 glasses of wine or so. (NO that is not something i normally do, but it was a special occasion & i was out on the town, a place you never could normally find me)...
so yeah, then i really only slept about... 5 hours ... then i woke up around 6 ... then i was up for a bit off and on and then went back to sleep until about 9.
(a girl from work called me at fucking 6 a.m. to see if i'd cover her shift, which really pisses me off, but that is beside the point).
so like, today, i understand that it's most likely the wine & the lack of sleep making me depressed.
do you ever have days where you just want it to be time to take your meds so you can go to bed and then start over again tomorrow?

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...
whenever i stop it i go paranoid and shit.
i keep saying i'm gonna sign off here.
i'm gonna sign off here ... now.
