The UPS and downs....

5-6 this week I have felt great. I didn't sleep on tuesday night and then crashed about 6pm on wednesday. I'm glad my mania is just hypo-mania and not a 3-4 day no sleep, take me to the hospital, heart beating, mind racing mania. No meds since early december and although my excercise and diet could be much improved. I am trying to keep regular sleep patterns, no caffine, no processed food, no sugars and taking my multivitamin, omega 3, vitamin C and garlic pills.



The bad part of it was that for 15 days I walked around like a zombie. Taking a nap during lunch and feeling like I could sleep forever. I felt that talking was a chore and to make sales was just too much. Although I did get out and talk to people I didn't sell a thing.



KJ then had all my family pray and fast for me on fast sunday(the 1st sunday of the month) and things have surely changed. Thanks family!!!!! Luckily I still have my job & I am #2 & #3 on the rookie reports in the entire company. That's job security. As long as I sell a ton on the days and weeks that I feel good & fight during the times that I don't then I know the Lord will bless me.


Chao for now!

Dear J:
I'm not sure why you're not taking any medication at all. Does nothing work or are you just anti-medication? I think that it's great what you're doing with diet and exercise, but I've personally found that sometimes I need a little medication for my depressions, and if I'm hypomanic, I need a little medication to ensure that I sleep at night.

Just wondered!
