Holiday Preparation With Depression

Yesterday, the kids begged me to put up the Christmas decorations for this year.  Of course, this was not exciting thought at first; however, I just started with my kids putting the tree together with me just directed.  After about 10 minutes of watching them put it together, there excitement spilled on me, and I started taking pictures of them putting the decorations on the tree.  Putting up the lights was even more exciting to them, because we've never had lights anywhere except on the Christmas tree since they been in the world.  But now, I actually have a string of lights that we could hang on the one little window we have in the living room.  Now this really excited the youngest one, and then the oldest started getting thrilled about placing the lights up in an order that looked nice to her....

 After several minutes of decorating, my spirits were definitely lifted.  I'm super grateful to have my 3 babies in my life.... especially right now during this depressed state...  They truly help me lift my spirits many of times, just because the smallest things in life keep them excited, and intrigued.  Well BPeeps, yep that's my new name for those that read or even follow this new blog I'm created.  I think  it sounds pretty cool, and inviting, and definitely Uplifting....to say the least.  So BPeeps, I would love to know who out there has decorated for Christmas yet, through the undercurrents of Holiday depression???  What BPeeps have some words of encouragement to share for Holiday Preparation????  Be sure to comment, so I can have a more lifted spirit this year!  Looking forward to hearing from my BPeeps out there in Internet Land!

Signs and Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

Living with Bipolar Disorder!  What's interesting about this disorder is most Manic's enjoy the mania!!!!  I know I do!!!  I feel so lost without the mania it's not even funny....  One of the most common symptoms for bipolar disorder is the feeling of grandiose or superiority!  Well, believe me, when I feel this way, I get a whole lot more accomplished than when I feel depressed and overwhelmed.  It may be dangerous, but it seems so much more productive than being the normal bore without feelings of greatness.  I was searching through youtube the other day, and found an awesome video, which I totally related too.  Yet at the same time the video helped describe the symptoms more detailed and more realistically than just listening to some health guru describe them....so I'm posting it in my blog for your review.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZbQBnRx5LM   Please leave me some comments regarding your thoughts, and especia...

Bipolar Self-Assesment Tests

There are a number of useful free tests online to help self assess whether bipolar disorder is something you should be concerning yourself about based on your symptoms or signs.  You're the best advocate for your self out here in this desert of a world, so it's best to start by advocating for your signs or recurring symptoms.  The moment I was diagnosed, I felt such a huge release.  I mean I totally know that I was struggling with lack of energy and desire, but it seems far more than that.  Usually I could fight my way through the feeling to just go back to bed or get up and go about my daily tasks with a few mental motivationalthoughts.... like "Get up, girl!", "You can do it", "You have to get up!".... then after realizing that none of my mental hype was working any more.  I couldn't figure out what was going on... I know I needed my job, but I just couldn't get up and go to work.... What!  I knew it was INSANITY, but I couldn't figh...
