My Bipolar life, a quick update
Let's see... where to begin..
Last summer, I was on one heck of a ride. Too high (not feeling like I needed sleep or food, super chatty and task oriented), then too low (not wanting to leave the house or answer the phone - just stay in pj's and sleep every chance I could through out the day, and all night).
