As some of you know I am Bipolar. I have been a little manic over the past couple of days. Spending money I don't have on Christmas for my family....stay up really late and getting up really early. High Energy - Ready to Go Go GO!!! Speeding and getting mad at people because they are driving way too slow for me. Thinking that people are staring at me. I think the hardest part has been I really can't do much because of the shingles. I basically have to sit at home and rest because of the shingles. It SUCKS!!! Anyway, my psychiatrist changed my meds around and I got a decent night of sleep last night and I slept till 10 AM. She told me not to drive until I know how the medication affects me. That just leaves me stuck in the house yet again. Oh well, I guess I'll just take it easy today. The dieting part of all this is hard because when I'm manic sometimes I forget to eat then I'm ravished later and will eat anything in sight. Oh well, thanks for listening...hopefully things will get better soon.

Take Care, Jena

Jena,
Oh, I can sure relate. I've had my meds changed 4 times over the last yr. What a pain!
I still wonder if I'm on the right ones...although things are better than they used
to be. There are times I wonder if I will ever feel like the "real" me again.
Does seem to make it harder to lose weight.

I hope this med will finally work for you & things become easier! Hang in there girl &
best of luck!
Jan
