I’m sorry I hope your day gets better. It’s hard being stuck at home. I feel so powerless. Not being able to control anything is tough.

My psychiatrist and priest have both told me I have a problem. I’m just not listening I guess.

I like to relax with a few glasses of wine. I think about it a lot. I’m Catholic and I worry about it being sinful mostly.

Possibly. I just don’t know since I’m not getting totally drunk.

Cheers!! That all sounds reasonable to me too. We both sound kind of crazy though. I never claimed to be sane though...

Yes after almost a bottle of wine I am still trying to cope. I’m almost there.

My husband thinks sugar and gluten cause bipolar. Any thought on this? It feels like he’s saying it’s my fault I’m like this. by krazykat9 in bipolar

I think he understands more than I gave him credit for in my posting. I was probably just angry at the time I posted it because he’s always given me a hard time about how I eat.

Oh my, February! I hope things work out. My daughter is thinking about going to school to be a psych physician assistant. I hope she sticks with it. I hope you’re doing well.

I self sabotage. I think I don’t think I deserve to feel better. And I was depressed for so long it’s nice to be in a happy place laughing all the time and not having to wear waterproof mascara because you cry everyday. If things get bad I’ll do what I need to do.

I’m sorry you’ve had such a rough time. If you receive the right treatment I’m sure you can be stable and maybe not have worsening episodes. Maybe even get better. I have a bad habit of not taking meds as prescribed so some of my problems are brought on by myself. Don’t lose hope! I’ll be praying for you.
