I’ve been MIA for a short while but thought I would pop in and catch up and give an update. I’ve been on my meds for about 3 weeks now and boy what a difference it has made. I can hear the birds singing and feel the air on my face again. And laugh! OMG! Have I laughed more lately than I have in the past 3 years. Real laughs too. Even my kids are noticing. I’m once again the best mom in the world. Lol I’m cooking again and looking around my house at what a sty it had become. On top of all that, I did great on my two classes. A’s Yippy! I even got the highest score in the class on one of my finals. Then there’s work. I’ve really pulled it out lately. I got the highest rating you can get on my performance eval. Which led to me getting a very large merit bonus!!!! And in the past two days I have been nominated for two committees by my peers. My personal finances are looking good, work is looking good, school, family and even my ex fiancé and I are talking well. Sounds great right? Here’s the catch, I’m so paranoid that something will go wrong or I’ll flip and go out of control again. I just wish I could enjoy it all without the fear of it all going wrong. I have brief moments of wow good job and smiles but then in the back of my mind is the BP…is it gonna get triggered? I guess it’s all part of it. Overall, things are looking up and I am more myself these days than I have been in a very long time. I still get sad, I still have ups and downs but they are balanced for the first time in forever. I could get used to this.

Good for you! We all need to have those positive life lifting moments and who is to say it won't last. You could be on a long stretch. Don't seel yourself short! I have been in your shoes and was waiting for the other shoe to drop myself and you do not want to wait around for it and it will freak you out maybe. It is hard to do and easier to say. But one day at a time and keep pushing forward.

I am so happy that things are going so well. The good thing is that you know the signs to look for before things go out of control. I think so many of us have had a history of feeling out of control and then when we start to turn our lives around, we don't realize that we are still in control. what meds are you on?

hugs,

sal

I'm excited to read that things can look good. I feel like we have to enjoy those good time. My husband is in good stage right now too. And as a wife to a bipolar man I have those fears also. But lets try to remind each other to enjoy those good time. And find a way to control those bad times so they don't become scars in our life. Just a brief visit.
