Hi Scott and Dove,

I just wanted to share with you both my week-end. Although separating all the variables is almost impossible, I think it was success.

Both Saturday and Sunday, I woke up 1 1/2 hours earlier than usual. I thought a 2am wake-up would have been too ambitious, plus dove's experience worried me a bit.

For the most part of the week-end, I felt quite cheerful.

dove, I don't know if you have this problem, But my diet changes drastically between my 2 cycles. On Saturdays, I find myself stuffing down numerous chocolate bars. no meals, just junk. Sunday morning, cookies for breakfast. Sunday evening, back to normal mode with a healthy, nutritious meal.

Mood-wise, I have to say, the week-end was a great success.

On Sunday, I went jogging hoping it would help me sleep Sunday night (the night I don't usually sleep). Well, I'm optimistically guessing that the shortened sleep Friday and Saturday, plus the jog Sunday most definately helped. It took me only about an hour to get to sleep and my sleep was good.

I am on the right track!

dove, yes I have to agree, mixed states are the most dangerous. I hope you get your stabilizer soon.

hi Scott, (follow up from your other posting)
thanks for the compliment. it was kind of like having the rug pulled out under me that I wasn't even aware existed. I adapt quickly to new ideas.

I have the same kind of problem in real life. I worry about whether I said the right thing at the right time...if I said something too intensely ...if I'm acting too high strung, etc. Basically, I worry about missing social cues and passing for normal. I don't mind being wrong though.

Do you have cycling depression Scott?

Do you have ADHD?

Janice
