Being Bipolar: Getting better one day at a time
I’m still standing! It actually seems to be getting better every day. I have to say that I haven’t felt this good in quite some time and it’s nice.
I’m adjusting to the Symbyax pretty well. Any side effects I may have are definitely not as bad as the terrible head cold I have right now so I can’t complain too much. I do have the “fog”, but I am managing.
My husband wants me to limit the time I spend online and stop sitting at the computer all day drowning myself in work. That’s hard for me because when I have something to do it bugs me until I get it done. I always have work I could be doing. I have to find some sort of balance between housework, my job(s) and “me” time. Maybe I need to schedule my days and allot time for everything. I have to do something. Is there anyone else who tries to stay busy with work? I have done it for so long to keep my mind occupied that it is hard for me to do anything else.
Ok, reading over the last paragraph I can see that I am rambling. The “fog” is really bad right now and I am starting to feel a wave of nausea. Ugh. I know it will fade after I have been on it a while but that doesn’t make it any less annoying right now. I hope this all subsides by Friday. Hubby and I have plans and I really don’t want to be grouchy because I feel bad.
Again, thanks to all of you for your support! It is greatly appreciated.
I always have 50 million things going on, especially now since I have for the most part been laid off from my “real” job and have started getting freelance work online. I feel like I am working non-stop all the time but that I am spinning my wheels a lot of the time with a never ending list of what needs to get finished and done!! I don’t know how to to help you balance things out as I haven’t quite figured that out myself!! Hang in there and you will find that balance
Also, how do I get the bipolar awareness thingy to put on my site??
Well, darn it. I didn’t think it would display it in comments. I will email you the code.
