I like your dribble - I think I relate to it… agree with what has already been said.

sorry you are going through a rough patch Ligthening. It is always a balance I think to manage the extreme highs and the low lows and everything in between. When we are juggling a whole of stuff - it is reasonable that we are going to drop some balls . Go easy on yourself.

Mind you, not sure Leighton is big enough YET

Well considering Stuffy Jr was *4* at the time … (though big enough to pass for 7)(Mrs Stuffy and I both have brothers that are > 2 meters tall and Jr stuffy seems headed in that direction)

I will still come if you dribble all the time. I like it best when you just tell it like it is. Hope you get out of the doldrums soon. I like what Amy said, but that’s from a position of ignorance - I have never experienced depression.

That’s ok. I’m sure you are well aware that I can take it as well as give it out!

Yes that was me yelling at you during sit ups (while I sat on my bum). The task master was busy with sit ups herself, I felt duty bound to yell in her place! Well, thats my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

Hey,
I personally dont like AD’s because it takes away from me those high highs. It also takes away the lows, but personally I prefer them with the highs than no either extreeme.
You can do this. You will find a way to balance yourself. The other thing is to work out your ‘cycle’ I know how mine works now and I can prepare myself a bit for those really bad days to come. I also know that I bounce back up after them. Its taken a while, but I’ve gone from a 3-4 day full cycle to about 3 weeks per cycle. So I get one week of completely up, no sleep, motivated for everything and cant slow myself down, one week really low, catching up sleep, hiding from the world etc, and then one week almost normal. If I catch myself in the normal week and get back to my real life then I can sometimes maintain that for a few weeks at a time. Then the high week, low week, normalcy for a bit etc. I know this now and manage it ok.

I try not to suffer depression, so much as utilise it and manage it. Hugs I know you can do this too.

Thanks Lynette. I do need to get out in the garden more. Problem is, nothing needs doing at the moment!!! (The problem with only having a small garden!). But our nice sunny days we’ve been having are lovely and getting outside would help. Some days I hide too much behind the computer. Thanks for your wishes for tomorrow. Hopefully my mood swings don’t affect things too much. :/ Poor old Sharon. I’ll give her a complex if I give her too much of a hard time. Do you think she knows we’re only teasing her????

Hang in there! You are ok and I think its all part of the parcel of “weaning” . Remember the good times you have had in the past few weeks…… maybe get back into the garden and spend time outdoors with nature! Especially in this lovely weather!
Happy netballing tomorrow - you had better watch put for that tough coach of yours!
