So I'm bipolar! Well, that explains a lot!

This time of year always finds me a little depressed or stressed.  I don't necessarily feel really depressed this year, but little stresses have been creeping in on me day to day.  I get these little crying bouts for no good reason.  Today I cried about my birthday.  My friends didn't call to invite me to an informal weekly gathering.  It really isn't an invite type thing, but I felt really hurt that no one called to ask me if I was coming for my birthday.  My friend Scott called atleast, and that made me feel better.  And of course my family called.  Still, I had such a crappy birthday last year because I had just gotten out of the hospital and no one knew how to act around me.  I was still in a kind of daze.

Anyhow, it is late now and I just got home from a week in a warmer climate with my family on vacation.  I'm reflecting on my recent sensitivity to things like touching commercials and sad stories.  Don't know why I have been like this lately. My grandmother gave me a book called "Hugs for dog lovers" and it has touching stories about dogs and people.  I get all teary when I read a story.  Why am I so touchy?  I just can't seem to figure it out.  Maybe I will go to the fourms...
