Comment on Guest blogger, my wife, part 2 by admin

Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear that you’re not experiencing this
aspect anymore. It seems to me like a horribly frustrating
experience, because you’re also dealing with the embarrassment of
feeling these things at all. How hellish is that? And I’m just an
observer.

Be well!

Your description of the mirror incident is so truely reflective of the nature of coping with Bipolar Disorder.

I used to have incidents like that frequently. My inability to deal with the new task at hand was usually an inability to deal with my emotional response to it.

Intellectually, if I didn’t have the Bipolar to cope with, I could have solved the problem, without anxiety, anger, explosiveness, resentful feelings, etc. But the Bipolar makes the emotions come on too fast and too strong and an over-reaction would result… Or, I would become frustrated from my inability to concentrate well enough.

It really sounds like both of you are on the right track to getting this thing beat. Both of you are also such interesting writers and I really look forward to reading more of your posts

Hormones? Not sure. I haven’t read anything about that, but could be. I take it at 8:30 each morning. The effect wore off slowly. Recently, I started taking 5 milligrams less each day, but that wasn’t working for me so I went back up to my previous dose and boom, I’m up early again.

Wow 4 am. Me too. Does it have something to do with hormones? When do you take it?

I can relate to what you are going to. Sometimes it is not the milligrams per se, but the change in them that causes all of the havoc. I think your writing is great and look forward to reading more posts. Your questions and insights are good ones!

I just posted about needing medications on my blog. I often think about what it would be like to go off of them, but I also have that “warm protective feeling” about them. I try to look at all of the progress I’ve made in my life while on them, and then I can see that they are a good thing. They are making my life easier.
