Well, it's June and the planet's days are longer - so are mine. Last night I took Seroquel and still didn't feel tired enough to sleep until 3 AM. But once I do fall asleep with Seroquel I don't wake up until 11 AM. Not much of a problem now because I'm between both school and job.

Also having a hard time finding the will to sit down and finish my coursework for a class that I have an Incomplete in. And I keep eating anything sweet in sight. At least I'm not depressed, only completely unmotivated.

On the positive side, I am signed up for a driver's ed class that starts in a few weeks. I've wanted to get my driver's license for a long time now, but for various reasons haven't. Also, I was hit by a car while crossing the street last February and being around cars gives me the willies. DH gets annoyed with me when we cross streets together. He doesn't say anything, but I can tell.

Just checking in.

I know what you mean about the longer days *rolls eyes*. As it is, I work until midnight, so my day *normally* goes till 1am, but now it's 5 or 6. Ugh. I slept 2 hrs yesterday! I should probably have taken an Ativan somewhere around 2am but I never considered it. Haha.

I generally do get more manic in the summer and more depressed in the winter. I still cycle within those cycles (if that makes any sense).

Good luck on your class work. You can do it.

Congrats and good luck in drivers ed. I got my license when I was 16 because my twin brother was getting his and I couldn't let him "get ahead" of me. So, paying for the license and drivers ed (total, around $600) I learn that I have panic attacks in the car. Great! So I haven't driven since then and my license has long since lapsed.

Hugs,
