Hey everyone,

@Bunniekins Love the GIF Pea 🙂 Hope you're doing better my beautiful friend. Sending you warm bunny hugs xx

@Former-Member Wow your shell craft is absolutely beautiful! xx

@Mazarita That's an interesting thought, I know I can be extremely sensitive to weather. And I'm hypersensitive to sight, sound & touch too, especially if I'm manic. It's like having a super power, but it's not so super! Lol. And yes picky eater here too!

So I have to adult today and finish cleaning up. I've been on my own for a week. Which I'd like to say has been blissful except emotionally after a few stressful weeks I just was engulfed by depression. I find I can sometimes postpone an episode so I can function and do what needs to be done, but I cannot prevent the inevitable and once it's safe to do so I crash.

My meds are still not perfect. And I'm exhausted from the roller coaster of trying new things, being spiked into butterfly net territory and having to deal with the fall out. I'm back on a lower dosage of my original med now which has settled things down and stopped the rage and SI.
I see my pdoc in a week so I think I just want to stay here for a while and catch my breath. It's very possible that this will be as good as it gets. As long as the meds prevent the rage & SI and keep me safe, I may have to learn to just live with the rest. Mixed episodes and rapid cycling sucks. But at least it fuels my creative side.

And all others travelling through, hope you have a warm & snuggly Sunday xx

Hello @Bunniekins, @bipolarbunny, @Mazarita @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @frog @Judi9877 @HenryX hello @Rivergirl @Clawde @Dimity @Meowmy and anyone I may have missed.

Yes I made the shell picture and collected all the shells except for the top far right and bottom left cone shell. It is something I can do when I can't sleep at night and it helps to calm my mind. Good for when I am feeling very irritable/mixed too.

Not having regular meals has always affected my mood and also hot weather too!

We are a sensitive lot aren't we...Lol

sorry but I had invalid HTML in my text??? What ever that means!

@Former-Member Hey Always-hope I occassionaly get " invalid HTML in my text???" I dont know what it means either lol!!

In response to: Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

@Appleblossom @Bunniekins it really annoys me that they think we are all aware of what abbreviations mean. If it's something important then it should be spelt out. I shouldn't have to "look it up" sorry for the rant. ❤️

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

Why does something like a 'HTML' suddenly change our emotions

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

Looks like a standard thing by other comments. Not your problem @Otter Thank you. just makes you feel like you've crossed the line and don't know why or what it means.

Was Just trying to communicate, connect with others trying to ignore how I am feeling ATM sorry you had to get involved.
