Weather:Sunny bright a little cool high 76
Sleep:I woke up every hour from the time I went to bed which sucked and feel really tired today
Mood:Okay but tired
Plans:I met with my case manager today which was our usual check in for the month. I did some reading today. I need to re~arrange my linen closet it's long over due for being done. Do a small grocery order tomorrow after middle daughter's therapy appointment which means picking up my meds as well. I made a small grocery list hoping I can stick to it. I also need to do some journaling since my collage project presentation for some of my thoughts and feelings at this point before I have therapy on Wednesday. I'm hoping for a better nights sleep tonite.
Hugs!

Like MamaC said taking care of yourself is a priority with regards to bipolar. I know for myself that taking my meds, seeing both my therapist and pdoc, and attending psych rehab program is apart of keeping me well and healthy.
I sometimes dwell on the negative instead of the positive aspects of bp such as lack of energy for any activity like doing chores or getting out of the house. I've found that I do better when I'm more active yet it's sometimes my depression that gets me into trouble for not being busier with my life. I'm also on disability at this point cuz having a job right now would be very stressful for me and not healthy for the rest of my family life.
I recently started volunteering at my local library which has improved much of my self-esteem and self-awareness over the last month. Being at the library is a source of joy and light that I didn't even know I could expect at this point. I enjoy reading books which is a personal medicine technique that gives me a sense of peace and sanity like no other.
I think you're doing a great job with managing your bp and it gives me hope that I can do the same at your age as well. Taking care of yourself one step at a time is very important. We all deal with negative thinking, I believe that finding one positive thing for each day allows me to be positive for the rest of my day or for a short period of time. Maybe this is something to think about for yourself.
Take care!

Mood: Good
Plans: I went to psych rehab today. I also made list for groceries then shopped with hubby in tow. I did some reading today. I called the neuro doc about getting an appt for my migraines acting up. Nurse I talked to wasn't really listening to what I was saying which was frustrating. I took kids to the dentist which turned out okay.
Hugs for all!

Plans: I had therapy today, we talked about my collage presentation and some insights that I was having overall good therapy session. I made an emergency run to SS office before my middle daughter's therapy appointment. I did a mini order for groceries and came home to cook on the grill. I started reading a classic historical romance called Outlander by Diane Galaborn~I'm liking it so far. I take kid's to dentist tomorrow and go to psych rehab cuz I couldn't do it today.
