Aren't mothers PRECIOUS?? My mom just thinks I am sad about something she doesn't understand, and she doesn't know how to make it better. But she feels plenty guilty. I tend not to call her unless I feel safely in the middle, mood wise.
I mostly think of myself as ill, particularly when I have weeks of mood swings. At least I am more familiar with them so I try not to be too outrageous whilst manic (I have gotten myself fired from several job quite spectacularly). And the lows, well, they are very hard to get through only because you can't imagine you'll ever feel better. I am still coming to terms with having to take so many different pills. My p-doc says that's only because they haven't invented the one that has all the stuff I need in it. Duh. Last weekend I sat watching a beautiful sunset with my husband, and started to cry about how I don't think I'll ever feel "well" again. I am just very aware of whether this is a good or a bad day. The bad ones I dread but expect. The good ones I find hard to trust.
