Starting Back Up....

Right. I'm finally starting back to maintain my website LivingManicDepressive and this companion blog.

The last year or so has been rough - in fact 2010 was my worst year for depression since about 1997/1998. That's why you haven't seen me posting. I'm hoping this time around things will be more stable.

The good news is that I a lot of experience I've collected over the years gelled last year (under the banner of This is nonsense and I'm fed up) and I'm hoping that I'll be able to write it all down before I forget it. Or before I get depressed again.

I'm also abandoning posting on facebook and posting here instead, so in addition to stuff related to mood swings, you'll also hear about my dogs. A lot about my dogs. An annoyingly large amount about my dogs.

I think I whine about my dogs more than I whine about being bipolar.

So...expect good things and wish me luck. Hopefully you'll hear from me a lot from now on. Again.

Well, for now. Six days ago, I got depressed enough that I didn't have the ability to take my meds. Yes, this really does happen and no, I have no control over it. Don't bug me about being irresponsible.

Of course, I promptly went hypomanic (and had a great time). Then crashed after 4 days. All of this is predictable and expected. So nothing new here.

I'd like to start back Seroquel and finish my experimenting, but I can't yet. I'll be traveling soon, and if I'm on Seroquel I have visions of falling asleep in the airport and missing my flight. Or having flight attendants being unable to wake me at the end of the flight. Or staggering up to an Immigration official as if I was drunk or drugged. I'll start back after the trip ends.

And I do like being able to go out at nights again. It's temporary, but hey, grab the opportunities while I can.
