Late Afternoon

21/10/2013

 
Well, just had my mate on his motorbike round for a cup of tea - just back from Minorca and very brown.  Jealousy here.  I'm still in my career choice of pyjamas, and a friend is coming for a whiskey at 6pm.  I never did get round to doing the washing, but I'll do it tomorrow.  I feel like a different person - I know people say that, but it's true.  My alter ego of depression is receding and although I can still glimpse it, it's getting further away.  And the Black Dog is going AWOL.  Here's to a few months of normality.

Because it will be only a few months - I reckon I have 3 or 4 episodes a year, not all as bad as this one was, but bad enough to stop me in my tracks.  Usually, it's hypomania, and I spend too much money - it's been a long time since I was depressed. I wish I could tell when they were coming, but I only get a couple of days' notice and then - wham - I'm in it.  I can go from being stable to being manic in 2 days, and then I can become depressed in almost a day.

The SAD lamp is on for an hour - it takes away the outside gloom.

So glad you are on the up. So there's a tan to be admired, is there? I shall feel jealous too when I see him. Take it easy over the next few days / weeks, remember you are still recovering. But you ARE recovering and that's great xxx

    I spent 16 years in the RAF defending the Free World , then got bunged out unceremoniously for being bipolar.  I and was subsequently diagnosed with PTSD.   Funny old world, isn't it?
