I feel like I’ve lost my way.
When I started this blog I had hoped to include positive life events as well as those associated with having bipolar. Recently everything I type seems to be negative. A whinge about my life. I had not intended for it to be this way and feel I need to rectify this.
On the positive side, taking Pristiq has had some effect. On a couple of occasions I have forgotten to take my daily dose and have really noticed the difference, so I guess it is doing some good. I have my fingers crossed that it will continue to improve the depression in spite of other things dragging me down.
Another positive is that on July 30 I am starting a Mindfulness Meditation course. Anything to help, right? Maybe I will discover a better way to cope with being bipolar or maybe I will just find a way to relax, either way it can’t be bad.
As yet I don’t know what else I can do, but I do know that I need to get out more. I have become very isolated since giving up former activities. Even going out alone for coffee is a huge achievement for me at the moment! Finally, I have decided on a quit day for smoking so all around me can expect some mood fluctuations around July 19
