Simple Steps is right. Yesterday was a tough day. Everything seemed to bother me and I tried once again to Isolate. I don't think I am so low that I will be able to get out of it. I just need to keep journaling so I can open up. Stop, think, listen and breath!..... WOW! that stuff really works. Every time I come across an issue that is what I do. My manic is somewhat under control with the use of meds and thinking. I did hit a high point yesterday when we were out viewing the christmas lights. WOW...what a show. I really did enjoy that. Today is christmas eve...these next couple of days will be stressful, but i will not give in and I will control my manic bipolar.

It really does help to write things down - it really does have therapeutic value - and I'm glad that you enjoyed the Christmas lights and had a good time with that. You are right to feel in control of your manic behavior - don't give in - don't let it win - whatever "it" is - you are in control of your life - nothing or no one else - you are the boss. Meds and thinking - you have a battle plan - you know you are at war - and you will prevail. Baby steps are better than no steps. Even if it takes everything in you to take a baby step, it is far better than standing still - the only tragedy in all of this is doing nothing - and you are doing something very important for yourself. That thing about stop, think, listen, and breath - I so know what you are talking about - and yea, it does really work! The only way for me to ever really know what to do when I am lost is listen for God. I have to get really quiet and patient and just listen - listen to what my heart and my insides are telling me - and then I understand. HE tells me what to do, and then it all just seems so simple. God Bless you!

Thanks for your comments, I do have a battle plan and as long as I follow that and continue to get support I think I will be fine. It is a long, hard road ahead and i know that. Thanks again.
I also drove away my friends and family. I did not mean to do it, it just happened. This lasted for almost a year before I received help. Just sitting down with an honest and open environment will help to see what is on her mind. It worked for me, not say it will work for her.
