I know how you feel. (((Keli))) It's good that you're not manic or depressed but I guess normal isn't always good either. I guess there will always be something that needs to be done, dealt with, etc. no matter what phase we're in. That is why my "homework" was to remain goal oriented no matter what phase I'm in. Not that it is always 100% effective. I still get so low or so high that I can't do anything. It's also hard to do it all the time.

Take advantage of this time and have a Keli day.

After that, and only after that can you start to work on the things in your life that need changing. It can seem overwhelming to look at it all at once...just take one step at a time.

p.s. I guess it's time to take my own advice too...I seem to be somewhere in the middle at this moment, but am still swinging wildly from manic to depressed within the day. I think it's slowing down...yay. I was switching 9 times a day when it started. Now I'm looking at 2 or 3 times a day. At least that is more manageable.

Keli,

I guess feeling even is better than the alternitives.

I very sorry to hear about the problems between you and your dh. You know you've been going up and down and all over the place lately so...so has your dh. He might just be a little worn out too. I just stopped and thought about the times when my dh didn't seem supportive. It was at times when I was at the end of my rope and had been cycling. Though he is not bp he still has to live in the tornado. Don't get me wrong...I'm not trying to minimize what you and your husband are going through...it's just my thoughts on my experience. Something to think about while you're doing all that thinking.

Your pdoc is right about it not being the right time for soul searching. When I'm not stable I want to do soul searching and my brain is working over time. I thank God that I haven't made any life changing choices (lately!) when I wasn't stable. I have made some whoppers in the past and nothing good has ever come of them.

I'm not sure if any of this helps but I wanted to share my thoughts with you.

Love and {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}},

Jamie

A/S and Jamie...thanks so much...it really helped, to hear that I'm not completely
