still going nuts!
even with 400 mgs topamax, 2 mgs resirdal, 2mgs klonopin daily. meditation, visualization, relazation (ha!), ect.
i'm smoking pot even. nothing is helping. i'm crazy as a loon. bouncing off the walls. even found my artistic side, even if it involves drawing lemons and cherries, hippos, blocks, and other kids pictures.
my bedroom has never been cleaner. my appearance has never been better. my clothes are clean. bills are paid in advance. even getting credit because somehow i'm talking to them until they GIVE me credit for my hassle. no more miss nice kk here folks.
my husband got me a car for v day. a red convertible. let's hope i don't scerw that up and wreck it the first week i have it. i got him a danzig (darn devil music) jacket. i thought he should have gone with a nicer leather one, but you knwo how men can have their own opinion and change their mind. same things they used to say about women, you know.
the duckie's doign great. had a dr apt today. well above in social and motor skills (duh! look at his momma!)
i have no idea what day it is. i don't remember what i did today, but i know it was a whole lot of stuff. thatk god my meds help me sleep, or else i'd never sleep. not so angry anymore, the klonopin helps with that.
but, oh, just to slow down for just one day. i wonder what it was like before all this started? when i did almost nothing but sit around and watch tv all day? i feel like i'm losing my mind..... and oh how i wish i could eat a big bowl of butter pecdan ice cream right now. or some pop tarts. or even a stupid boca burger :)

I was about to put up a call to you. I've been thinking of you and hoping you were doing better.
I'll send all the calming energy I can muster in your direction.

Do you wanna come over and clean my place?
Can we trade? I'll give you my non caring/calm energy and I'll take your hyperness? Just to get me through the next couple days of midterms? Please?
I'm glad your little one is doing well!!!

Wow - your energy is blasting right off my screen!
:-)))) Care to send a bit my way?
I don't know your history - seems QUITE a huge jump from sitting watching TV to these bursts of energy.
Are you restricting your junkfood intake?
Hope you gain back some of the calmmmmmmmmmness & find a comfortable balance.
Sending balancing thoughts (but with a tinge of envy as to all that energy!!) (((you)))
hugs, Kath

I'm glad your duckie is doing good. And what a very good Mr. KK to get you a red convertible for valentine's day. All I got was a card and a IOU for dinner. Not even any chocolate. :(
~~~~~~Sending you calming, soothing vibes~~~~~~~~

i forgot something...
my therapist told me 'you have to control yourself and the things you say' ???? huh? over a m,isunderstanding in teh waiting room? at least i wasn't wrestling someone naked!
and another thing! she said 'don't be in contact with anyone while you're manic' huh? i understand limiting, but she really wanted me to limit, no errends, ect! is that even possible? she talked about locking me up twice. i really don't think i'm that bad. nor do i think she gets my sense of humor.
oh, and i found some relief in the form of a honey bun :)

I really feel for you, KK. Hypomania is not what it's cracked up to be. (At the moment I'm not on any mood stabilizer and I keep biting my tongue trying to not say incredibly stupid things. New pdoc appointment is scheduled for the end of this month.) Not interacting with others while in this state is a grand idea. I did manage to assert myself with my DH this week, as we are driving to Miami for his mum's birthday, and he wants to do all sorts of visiting and running around doing stuff en route.
I finally told him that I don't have enough medication to make the planned trip livable, much less enjoyable. I pleaded and negotiated the itinerary down to getting to the party and back, with no side trips. I felt really guilty about insisting on paring down our activity.
I hope today is more settled for you.

Locking you up????!!!!! I am astonished to think that a pdoc would talk like that!
I LOVE hunny buns. Are you feeling any different at all? You sound somewhat calmer.
hugs, Kath
