This is what I absolutely LOVE about bipolar disorder....
For the last two weeks I've been all agitated and pissed off, my Faux Boyfriend actually officially ended things on Monday night, I was extremely sad and teary all morning on Tuesday and then Tuesday afternoon, I was fine. Tuesday night I chopped off all of my long strawberry blonde hair into a chin length bob (very sassy, with a headband and a feather I look like a 1920s style flapper girl) and VIOLA ~ I have been feeling FANTASTIC ever since.
And today I thought about it and remembered that this is how it always goes. I have a horrible day and then the next day I wake up and I'm all better. And I have a great day. And then things will be fabulous and the next day they'll go horribly bad. Faux Boyfriend and I were having a great time and then a week later he says he wants nothing to do with me.
I'm just having the time of my life with being happy right now. So much fun. And so I am soaking up the good times in case the shift to bad is around the corner.
As for how I am doing regarding Faux Boyfriend? I was over that the second I got my hair chopped off. And we were together for almost a year. Shows how much I really cared for him, right? (see my post about being in a relationship with someone dx'ed BP)
I weaned myself off of Depakote (improperly, so I got sick) but now I'm back on Lamictal and doing just fine, thank you very much.
