When I'm manic, I have CRS

Seems when I'm in a manic cycle, I tend to have no memory of events that happen the night before, does anyone else have similar stories?

Yup, and with my full-blown manic episode I did not remember at least 2 wks before I finally overdosed on some pills which landed me in the hospital!

My doc said that when your manic that you can actually lose your feelings and conscience too (considering that you had one to begin with)! It is freaky to me!!!

Ooooh, hubby has horrible memory losses...but it's mostly when he's in a mixed episode and not just manic. He also has a really hard time placing in time and order of things that happened.

i think that happens to me...

my mom asked me what we did and where we went yesterday, and it took me like 5 minutes of intense thinking to remember where we were and what we did.....

and i was manic...hanging out the window singing and flirting with strangers in other cars with my hubby in the back seat...singing and dancing, lol....id say i was a little manic......and i couldnt remember....

I usually remember. Sometimes I wish I didn't.

My CRS stems mainly from getting older and having kids. When I was a child I have only one book on my shelf to refer to. Now I have an entire library. Which book? Which one did I put it in?

This is my theory why grandparents don't remember as well. They are truly great libraries. As children we have a few books, as elders we are vast libraries. Except for "Puff the Dragon" man I met last month. He doesn't remember anything.

I thought it was just alcohol blackout. Someone told me there are BP blackouts also. I don't always remember everything. I have to rely on others to give me the story.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
