I can’t cope

I will crash when the episode leaves but I crash really badly! @creative_writer. I did only get 3 hrs sleep so I knew what was going to happen.

I am trying to stay on the lounge to calm down a bit but I just have to keep getting up and moving. I didn’t go for a walk with my parents today because I didn’t need them to see this. Mum would think I was on drugs or something! They don’t know about my MI

When I went shopping I was chatting to everyone and at such rapid speed. It was quite funny.

I am laughing at the irony though. I’m trying to stay on the lounge and usually I’m trying to find the motivation to get off it!

Wow @Captain24 - what a day for you! Hello 🙂

It is ok to rest up when you need it @Captain24, be kind to yourself X

I can’t rest @Former-Member! It’s just not working for me today!

It’s been a day! @tyme

I’m willing myself to slow down but I’m sitting here laughing uncontrollably at absolutely nothing! The tv is even on!

If only I had someone that could come around. I’d be awesome company!

Hope you both have had an absolutely cracker of a day!

Sorry @Captain24, I misread your og post!! I thought it was indicating the opposite 🙊!!

Hmmm, well you probably don't have a lot to do after yesterdays big efforts around the house!! I get nervous energy and find it hard to still myself heaps. It is so annoying and exhausting. It is something that my family don't understand either. As a kid, I was always in trouble for shaking, now I still (at almost 40) get into trouble for "doing to much". Can't win?? I think it's a sensory seeking thing? Anyway, you do what you need to do!!

We can keep you company on here!! Might make you stop for a minute to write 🤞

I re-cleaned everything! Did all my washing that I hadn’t done for days then all my ironing that I hadn’t done since last week. @Former-Member. I did contemplate re mowing my front lawn but I thought that was going to far! I’m sure Pixie’s vet thought I was crazy!

This is the upside of bipolar! At least it’s type 2 so it’s not complete mania.

Im even typing as fast as I’m talking. I was never a sit still kid and at 45 I still can’t sit without having to move somehow.

At least my heart rate is now under 100.

Did you get to go for a swim today or did you spend the whole day cleaning?

Yes, knowing when to not leap into the extreme is a good foundation. Glad you didn't mow the lawn the front lol. The injuries I have caused by exceeding my limits due my desire to keep moving have been numerous 🤣. However, I still do it on a regular basis. But the question is always what do to with my energy. I bought a pilates ball once to bounce on. That was kinda cool and worked. I need to replace it though, dang hole! I would bounce on the spot while watching tv ha ha. What a sight 😂

No swim today. I spent waaaaaay too long using the gernie just to be in sun. I got home pretty late so no time for a swim 😒. I did spend ten minutes on the roof top looking at the water as compensation today though.

What are you up to tonight? Apart from being being energetic @Captain24 ?

You would have got in done in half the time if I was there! Lol @Former-Member. It’s awesome that you have water views from your roof!

I should get my ball out. That might help. I did consider getting my tap shoes out but don’t want to damage my flooring. I didn’t think I’d be safe getting into my pointe shoes. I don’t think with the over energised state I could safely stand up.

I just have to put the lasagna in the oven. I have nothing else to do. Everything is done. Just a lot of laughing at nothing!

I don’t want to calm down to much as the crash isn’t going to be fun!

What else have you been up to? You have kids don’t you?

How has your day been @tyme

Yeah get your ball out!! Or do you have a surface outside to tap on?? I am too uncoordinated for any skilled dancing, but even still it always feels good. What music do you like to dance to and what is you fave style @Captain24 ?

The roof top where I just moved is amazing!! I can see everything 👀

I do have three kids. The older two are 16 and 20 so they're always in and out but I have a 4 year old too and he keeps me very busy and is my sidekick (or maybe I am his?). He has complex additional needs so that keeps me busy most of the day. We do heaps of therapy so that's always fun. That was serious too, because he is little it is all play based. I get to plat without the stigma of being an adult lol.
