I totally get that. I wish I had the energy to, really wanted to clean out the fridge, scrub the countertops, whatever, while belting out the Pixies or something (though that's really more depressive, come to think of it), but the very thought of these tasks makes me feel tired and defeated.Bridget Murray Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306039774528244541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-28855728234109164712009-10-24T17:27:47.988-06:002009-10-24T17:27:47.988-06:00I have been involved with someone who is bipolar (...I have been involved with someone who is bipolar (not MathMan, of course, who is probably one of the most sure and steady influences in my life). You're right - had I known ahead of time the highs and lows of loving that person, I might have stayed away. But we often don't get to choose or, worse, we get clued in too late and the choice has already been made and very, very hard to reverse.<br /><br />You have a self-awareness that is amazing. Use that in any way you can to be well and to create.<br /><br />Love you. And that's knowing I have a choice. Do you still have my phone number? Maybe we can chat sometime?lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-49405193543989771732009-10-23T09:12:30.884-06:002009-10-23T09:12:30.884-06:00I never have anything to add to such gut spillings...I never have anything to add to such gut spillings, so I'll just steal liberality's line.Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-37191292586854155672009-10-22T21:10:36.557-06:002009-10-22T21:10:36.557-06:00At least you can write about it, myself I keep tra...At least you can write about it, myself I keep track of my moods via twitter, facebook and well who knows anymore.

I have never been diagnosed anything because I never took the time to have a medical label placed on my pysche. But finally after years of wondering what was wrong, I have (and reading your writing has helped me)- I have begun to understand the whys and what have yous of my life to this point. This post really struck me hard. I am not sure whether to thank you or curse you. But seeing that I consider you a friend, I will thank you.<br /><br />Your description of the highs and lows is spot on. At least in my case they are. Hang in there. Cuz that's all you can really do anyway.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.com
