Just be compassionate with yourself, and keep breathing your way along this dark patch...you will make it through, one trudge-step at a time, though sometimes it will feel like three steps forward, one step back...you already know it's slow going at times, but it's because your mind, body, emotions, heart and soul are on a healing journey that you will eventually look back on as good, even sacred ground. All part of the tapestry our souls are weaving for a purpose we're not aware of yet. Just be compassionate with your self and whatever pace your soul is taking to heal.

Vicki, you know that I am holding you in my heart and thoughts at this tough time. Wasn't too long ago I was posting about similar things. You were one of the amazing woman who allowed me to share even in a strong state of vulnerabilities...and I was cocooned and carried in the forum until I started to cope again.
You will also have the faith to know that you are being carried with love right here.
Big Loves
Poppie

Jabber, EH, Anne, Poppie - Thank you for your thoughts. I appreciate them so much. You touch me so.
EH is right, Bipolar is a chemical imbalance and I have to keep remembering that when I get sick. Something sets off those delicate balances, whatever it may be, and I get sick again. I either go manic (like I did this time) or get depressed.
I'm extremely sensitive to excitement. It can push me into a manic episode in a snap.
Manic, to me, means a very "high" feeling. Talking fast. Racing thoughts (inspirational ideas during the day/horrible what if's about what could happen to my family at night). It could mean a shopping spree. It could mean a spree of any kind (cooking, cleaning, writing, anything creative) It also means not being able to sit still very long, not sleeping enough. It could be kind of fun for a short period of time. I can get get some things done.
and when it gets to the extreme, not sitting still at all, uncontrollable thoughts, racing thoughts (all to the extreme), jumbled thoughts, no sleep at all, no creative spree at all, frustration, headaches - migraines. That's when it gets "Scary" That's when it pushes me toward hospitalization. Where it requires professionals to level my meds under hospitalized care.
That's how it works for me.
