How come, don't I like cooking?
When I feel good, I love to cook, when I feel bad I am sad I can't cook
When I 'get in these moods' I do too much, start getting overwhelmed and I get angry. I was stirring the fried rice and so frustrated, I think I might have just thrown it all over if I didn't know I would have to have cleaned it all up. As it was I had to clean up some.
Sometimes when this 'manic' happens and I am doing too much, my spouse takes me puts me in a chair, or I go lay down and he says what do you want me to do. It is very hard for me to tell him what I need.
Sometimes he calls to check in and says I am at the store, do you need anything, and I cant think. He asks a question and I can't think of an answer. I am on depakote and Keppra (new) and I wonder if this lack of verbal has come with both...I can't remember if I had this challange when I was depressed/manic before I started depakote.
Now I am afraid to stop taking meds to try something else. See 'clash of the titans'Post.
Thanks for asking about me. Writing and reading these posts help me clarify my thinking.
