MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

Wow...they say if you want something done ask a busy person. Maybe thats to benefit of BP. With endless energy and if you can channel it productively you can do many many things. Enjoy and take care.

I am having a good day too-but not hypomanic. It is such a relief to feel good.

I'm glad you are feeling better today. It's always good to get things done. Be careful though, if you are hypo-manic, there is always the crash. It sounds like you are busy body today, I'm sure your husband is liking this. It's hard to see someone go through depression. I hope your good mood keeps.

I miss hypomania to a certain degree...although I made some horrible mistakes through bad judgement, I was able to buzz about and got a lot done. Plenty of artistic inspiration too. Of course, I also went to school for a subject i had no interest in or skill at, and got two big ass tattoos. All hypomania, not what I'd do normally. I'd say i'd rather to without it mostly.
Lamictal 400 mg
Abilify 4 mg

I've been hypomanic too since Monday night. I cleaned my garage yesterday, should have been at least a two day project, went and got some plants and planted them, and now I'm full of energy and I'm running on only 4 hours sleep last night. I still feel full of energy and ready to tackle some more projects.

I really missed feeling good. I hope I don't crash too hard.

peace & hugs
Rick
