Getting Started Again

I got the suggestion to journal when I posed a question in one of the threads. I have been journaling since I was 10 years old but I stopped recently for a reason I can't quite put my finger on right now. Journaling has always helped me figure out what I'm feeling, or at least put words to my emotions. Right now I am excited for new things to happen. I have been cooped up here for too long. I don't want to get overly excited, or even manic, as these changes occur. My parents are the ones who trigger my hypomanic episodes. My big time psychotic mania has come from love. A very deep love.
