Especially being pregnant, and hormonal, and more prone to crying rather that laughing. I realized last weekend though that I had gone through a mild manic episode, just a couple days and at least stuff got done, but still.... My husband even noticed when it was over, wanting to know where all my "energy" had gone. What's even funner is when your OCD kicks in during a manic phase, my poor children had very clean rooms for a week. So far so good though, still off meds. My sweet husband has thrown out his computer games since his constant playing was stressing me out and depressing me a little. School's out and far less running around to do eases my schedule. We've made it 6 months med free, and only 19 weeks left till baby gets here. With the awesome support I have from my family and friends I may just make it the whole way! Then they can throw me on any meds they want so long as I nurse on them. I feel so blessed to have made it this far, and I know I couldn't have done it on my own. The Lord has truly put people in my path that take off some of my load and make it possible for me to do what's best for this little one. I love having good bipolar days!
