Thanks for letting me know! I sometimes just listen for the BBC news on Alexa and it's nice to hear from home!

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

With Kayne West's new album release, I'm remembering that line he sung about bipolar being his superpower, which I still don't know how to feel about.

I am listening to Billie Eilish's album, which is awesome, and not 27 tracks long like Kaynes.

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

Hi @Shaz51 it seems ages since we could have visitors. I hope you all enjoyed the lunch.

I'm preparing for a medical procedure tomorrow. Had to have a covid test yesterday - a long walk to the test site (I don't drive). Now I have to isolate til after the procedure. I'm a bit anxious but all the instructions are clear and detailed. Asking someone to help pick me up was the hardest part.

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

I am definitely having a hypo manic time today/tonight.

since only being 2 weeks diagnosed I haven't recognised it before.

I gave all my spare energy out to Father's Day yesterday and was probably down or depressed until this point. I thought I would feel exhausted today but Today I'm on fire. I've tried studying and working and can't stick to either. I decided it was a great idea to start a million piece lego project with the kids at 8:15pm when they should be going to bed 🙈

my legs are jittery. I danced to 2000's dance music on my own in the kitchen. I feel high as a kite and it's nearly 4am and I can't sleep.
My minds racing and I know I should sleep but I don't want to!

so yep, finally accepting I have bipolar is interesting 🤷‍♀️
