Bipolar triggers for Sunny

Several incidents trigered a light outburst of tears on me. So silly too. But at least
I will recognize these in the future.
I was already doing one small project for my hubby, when he complained about something else and suggested that I might be at falt and that I should drop that project and do this othr project ofor him first, then the other one. I was sleep from my meds and was pushing my self already, then this, and then he got angry because I didn't listen and said that I was doing the first project correctly anyway. ! WHOH ! Instead of saying something nasty, I started to cry. Dumb tears. I put My head down on the sink and cried big tears for about two minutes. Then, I open my bottle of trilepthal. {prpobably not spelled right}, and took one. My doc, said if I get in a jam and I am starting a manic ep8isode, to take one and then continue the meds as the usually prscribed. Believe it or not, I told myself, now cry you have 5 minutes. Then these blasted jobs done and spend some time on you and Tammyanne { Tammyanne is ou Jack russell terrier } She need to be fed and walked. I choose to walk her alone this time. Good for my brain. I could cool off. It worked after the walk, it was hard, because the winds are very strong today, and Tammy was pulling against me. So I didn't have time to think. When we got back, put my headphones on and listend to "tanya Tucker" cd. Gosh can she belt out the tunes. Imoment passed. Thank heaves. Because we are going awasy for a one day trip tommorrow, and I don't want to be at each others throat. Sunny.

(((((((((Sunny)))))))) You did all the right things that you could to calm down so give yourself a big pat on the back. Sometimes we just have to do the best we can do to get through that particular moment.


Keep posting here and know we're here for you. Hang in there sweetie.
