Entry 1

Dear Diary:

This evening, Sunday, May 2, 2010 I am feeling somewhat better after having dealt with both bipolar depression and a migraine.  The bp depression I have dealt with for several days now and the migraine on and off since yesterday morning.  The migraines are something I've dealt with all my life and is a separate issue.  As for my bipolar depression, well I've dealt with that most of my life as well.  When I'm feeling bp depression, I have to fight or rather force myself to be productive in doing anything.  Right down to talking myself into making dinner.  I feel extremely lethargic, depressed and bored, yet highly creative, as well as easily distracted and agitated. 

Today, has been a struggle, so I just let my creative side take over, hence I created this blog and diary.  And as for the rest, I just let my creative side pour out while keeping to myself and relaxing.  Relaxing is a nice word for laying around all day.  But if there is one thing I have learned in having Bipolar, it's that you can't be too hard on yourself.  There are days when all I feel like doing is laying around, so if that's what I do, I try to at least bring something out of it.  To accomplish something.  Today, I at least accomplished creating a new blog and starting a diary.  And although it took some fighting within myself, I did cook dinner.  So here is your first look into a day with me and my Bipolar.
