Sorry I haven’t been around much this past week or so, but I’ve been doing the tango with pre-hypomania and having some difficulties with focus. I refer to dancing because I’ve been able to stay away from the edge of that precipice; thank God for meds or I’d be jitterbugging on the moon right now.Continue reading “Spring Has Sprung!”

This Post Has No Purpose
Was awake waaay too late into the night last night with racing thoughts and no real idea why. But I suspect it was the fact that a day I’d been looking forward to was a complete bust: first it was the canceled p-doc appointment, and then my favorite football team went on to lose their game inContinue reading “This Post Has No Purpose”
September Morn
Well, so much for THIS year. I just flipped the calendar over to September this morning, and if tradition holds, the last four months of the year will seem like four weeks. I don’t know why it goes so fast, but it does, and before we know it, it’ll be New Year’s. Which means winter’s coming.Continue reading “September Morn”
Between “Blah” and “Yee-HAW!!”
This mild mixed episode has got to go. It’s not anything I can’t stand. It’s not at all like those horrendous mixed moods I have every now and again that make me crazier than a shit-house rat. This is just a generalized weirdness where bouncy and amused alternates with down and irritable, and I’m sick to death of it. IContinue reading “Between “Blah” and “Yee-HAW!!””
A Really Good Day
This has been a really, really good day. I haven’t done a single constructive thing, but the sun is shining, it’s not too hot, and I’m in this super good mood. Despite the fact that I still don’t have a job and money is nonexistent after we paid the phone bill with our garage-sale profits, laughterContinue reading “A Really Good Day”
The Edge of Night
I can’t say I’m surprised, being worried sick about finances and it being almost summer, but late nights are getting to be a problem for me again. I’m still going to bed at a regular time (although I do push it to the limit—11:30 PM—almost every night). It’s just that my meds aren’t kicking in until afterContinue reading “The Edge of Night”
Missing (Hypo)Mania
Yeah, I admit it. After all, there’s a great big beautiful spring out there, with warming temperatures and even more sunshine to come later this week…..the intoxicating aromas of flowers floating on the soft breeze…..the promise of summer just around the corner. This is one of my favorite times of year, when it’s not TOO hotContinue reading “Missing (Hypo)Mania”
Beware The Ides of March
It’s taken a long time, but I’ve finally come to see the seasonal pattern of my mood swings in its full spectrum. I’ve always gotten depressed in the winter, and in recent years I’ve come to expect that mania will visit at least once during the summer and early fall. And now, thanks to an unusual flash of insight, I justContinue reading “Beware The Ides of March”
Spring Fever
It was 63 degrees today. The sun was out for part of that time, the breeze was soft and almost warm as it kissed my rain-frizzled hair, and over the sounds of traffic I thought I could hear birds chirping as I munched my tuna sandwich. I almost didn’t even need a sweater. Spring may still be a littleContinue reading “Spring Fever”
The Warm Breath of Spring
…..well, at least we had a day of it. Yesterday it was 61 degrees and the sun was peeking out between the clouds, and all of a sudden it felt like the promise of new beginnings was about to burst forth. Or some such cliché. But whatever it was, after the long, cold, evil winter we’ve had,Continue reading “The Warm Breath of Spring”
