Get your motor runnin


The good thing about having an upswing mood is that one gets a shitload of things done.

The not so good thing is that one's ability to concentrate is kind of shot to hell.

For sure it is better than any artificial "high" there is. (But the "hangovers" suck more too.)

There's some new progress in the making-friends front. Some months ago, husband discovered that an old acquaintance of his was now living across the street. And I knew his wife because she started working at son's kindergarten while son was still there. They seemed like nice people.

Last Sunday they invited us for a barbecue over at their place and it went so well that I actually invited them over for this Sunday and they said yes. Feel anxious and excited about this.

That feels like my job! Even though the pace is slow most of the time, the rodent on a wheel feeling is relentless.
I think I'm having a mixed episode. I'm irritable as hell and the only thoughts I have are of hurting myself. Not suicide, but hitting and cutting. Shite!
I agree, I'm super productive in the hypomanic mode. But I know that just below lies a bastard of a depression.

Hell, yes! I know EXACTLY what you mean.

The friends across the street thing sounds really good. I hope it is.

I hope you have a great time with friends. Relax and let yourself have fun. Sometimes it's hard to open up, isn't it?
