Lately I’ve been struggling with coming down from a bipolar high and dealing with all that comes along with that.
I don’t even need to write a new post about it – you can read this post from last November that pretty much sums it up.
But I also want to say that we must write when we are not well because, as Parkinson says, we need to look “right into the burst vessels of the thing…When we do see [our illness] in its rawness…who among us does not wince?”
I could also call this “Home for a Rest Redux” because I’m in exactly the same position I was when I wrote this post in May. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
Hoping for better days next week.
Take care of yourself. Sending good thoughts to you!
Thanks!
That’s too bad, Sarah. Had so hoped that your marathon would have given you a kick in the right direction. Do take care of yourself, there WILL be better times ahead. And do remember: YOU ARE LOVED.
The marathon was very good for me. Unfortunately the high that started before then wasn’t good for me. Thanks for the note.
Wish you the best in getting through this. Our thoughts and love are with you
Thanks – hopefully it passes soon.
Thinking of you and hoping you rest.
Thanks
Your honesty is important to share. I hope the rest serves you well.
Thanks
Sorry to hear this — definitely contact your health care professionals right away. Talk to friends and family immediately if you feel worse. Remember — it gets better.
I know the drill unfortunately. Just have to wait it out and try to do as many relaxing/self-care things as possible.
