Long time, No update.. Mood

Monday, July 21, 2008

I guess I should give everyone a quick update on what's been going on the last few months.

I did end up keeping myself from going back to my ex-boyfriend. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Almost the day of our break up, I began feeling so much better. I was happier, less moody, not anxious, and just overall much better. I'm questioning whether I am actually bipolar at all. I do still have some depression and I think that I definitely worry too much sometimes but I am not manic or moody anymore. We'll see how it goes.

Other things that have happened...

My grandfather was diagnosed with terminal cancer. My family is really broken up about it.

I met a guy and we've been dating for about two months. It's going pretty well but I keep waiting for it to fall apart. Over time, I'll get over that. He's really amazing and unbelievably understanding.

I'm about to start my fourth year of college. I think that if I work really hard this semester, everything will keep looking up. I just need to keep my priorities and head on straight.

It is so good to hear from you and hear how you are doing. I realy do think of you every time I go past the boat house and cross the OK river. Did you take classes this summer. I am realy proud that you are entering your senior year. That is a real accomplishment. When I was first diagnosed with bipolar I would have long periods of time when I would not have severe depression. Then it would return. Sometimes it was a year. It was during those times I would stop taking my meds because I thought I was well and didn't need them. I hope that your diagnosis was wrong and that you were only suffering from situational depression. Just be aware that it could return and seek help if it does.
I am so glad you have found a new relationship and that you are happy. Take care of yourself and I know things will work out for you.
It was so good to hear from you. Your friend, Jackie
