Hey, y’all –
Well, I seem to be feeling better. I was a good little bipolar and called my psychiatrist’s office, spoke to his nurse, and my psych put me on Wellbutrin (antidepressant), and now I seem to feel a little better, anyway — a little more energy, a little more focused. My husband’s happy, anyway, I actually made dinner today and did the dishes. (You don’t know what a big deal that was for me.)
I also wrote 5 articles for the InnerCircle newsletter. Now THAT is a big deal. Takes a LOT of focusing. My husband says I get in a “zone” when I write like that. It just seems that the ideas just sort of flow. I get sorta temporarily manic. But when the mental energy runs out, it is gone, and I’m done.
Still, I’m feeling a little better, and I’m grateful for that. I was getting pretty scared that I was going into an episode. At least this way I know I was just depressed, and hey–that happens sometimes.
Hopefully, the medication will be the umph I need, joined with the rest of my sanity cocktail.
Also, re: my exhaustion all the time, my regular doctor wants me to go for a sleep study, cuz she thinks I have sleep apnea. Well, hubby went for one last month, and he sleeps with a CPAP machine now — it did wonders for him. So I’m real open to the idea. Gosh, a restful sleep — what a novel idea! 
Well, hope y’all are doing well. Let me hear from you!
Remember that God loves you, and so do I!
Michele
