i worked hard on the bed but didn't get it finished. i got it framed in and framed the slats. when i started attaching the legs i decided i wanted 4x4s instead of 2x4s and also wanted extra brackets for support. so i guess we'll go back to home depot and grab those tomorrow and i can finish it up. i'm so excited! it's 34" high (from the floor to

(deleted last comment b/c it didn't read the way i wanted it to sound...)
but still, i am here with ears and hugs for you!
be kind to yourself!!
and yes, you were wild and fun while working at the safehouse, and perhaps you are just taking a big ol' break from all those late nights and emotionally draining times.
and there is nothng "wrong" with not wanting to see people for a while!

this is really similar to what i'm going through. i told coco the other day that i don't *want* to go anywhere or do anything. pervasive apathy. part of this is maybe because i finally like my house. but part of it is that i'm stricken with severe anxiety at the thought of having to deal with the world.

You know, recently I've been reading back in my journal over the last four or five years, and in retrospect it's a little scary. I find myself saying, "Okay, I knew I was depressed, but my Maude!" or "I must have been so manic when I wrote that!" I didn't see it at the time. Especially where mania was concerned, I was totally oblivious.

When you were at the safe house you were really living hard, maybe too hard. Were you manic and maybe didn't realize it? Because now it sounds as though you're depressed. Boredom is a symptom, and depression often follows mania, even if it's hypomania.

I don't know if that's helpful.

Anyway, I'm listening, and I'm thinking of you. With a little luck I'll see you some time this month, since we're coming to Minneapolis. When I have a better idea of where we'll be and what we'll be doing, I'll let you know, 'k?

i think you are in a depressive cycle. you might have been more exciting back then, but do you remember how painful it was to get out of bed? the 800 mg of ibuprofen you had to take when you got up in the morning? the lam drama? i do and it is a wonder to me that it took so long for you to burn out. you might not feel exciting but think of it as recharging

i think so too, a depressive cycle. you aren't the first person to be all, "hey, remember how bipolar works. fast and slow. fast and slow

hi!

I don't know if you ever got to see the picture of my newborn son in the longies I bought from you. I just wanted to share with you. :)

They fit so wonderful.

I've gotten a lot of offer for people to buy these when he grows out of them, but they were the fits wool he got and I don't know if I can part with them. You did such an awesome job on them, he's wearing them right now! :)

Thank you again.

your comment absolutly made my day, noel. thanks so much for sharing that picture with me; your little guy is absolutly gorgeous.

aww thank you so much. I really can't tell you how much I love these little longies. I mean, I know it's just clothing, but you can tell that you put a lot of love into them. They feel like they were just made for him.

So thank you so very very much. :)
