Last night I got my Mom out of the house and had dinner. It was nice to get out and it was also nice to see my Mom starting to move better. She still needs her walker but is starting to get her ability to walk without it. I call that the magic of healing. I'm looking forward to getting her out of the house more. This weekend Fall begins and to me that means new beginnings. Summer hasn't been very good for myself or anyone else in my family so in my mind this is a new period and I'm excited about it.
When we got home from dinner last night I had to go to bed right away. I think my tiredness had to do with starting to take Abilify. I read that there could be some drowsiness in the beginning but it wouldn't last. Well I slept for twelve hours but was then able to get up with no problem and was very alert. That's a big improvement over the Seroquel that I'm really happy about. I just hope this new medication can help my depression. In any event I did nothing today and it felt good. I needed some me time and got it. I hope tomorrow is as good as today but who knows how I'll feel.
I’m a 46 year old man who’s been dealing with Bipolar my entire life. It wasn’t until 2013 that I was diagnosed and this blog is my story. As you’ll see there’s been many lapses in my posting but I’m going to try and get back with it. I’ve had a lot of trouble during my lapses but I continue to remain optimistic about my bipolar hence the title Optimistic Bipolar.
