You guys got tricks up your sleeve, lol

You guys constantly surprise me in a good way. One day it’s all doom and gloom and then the next day: BAM! You’re out swimming, going to classes, working, visiting a friend or family, doing something for your kids. It pulls me up when I hear stuff like that. So kudos for that. It points out to me how complacent I’ve gotten. Today, I went and got gas, drove through Burger King, and brought two bags of cans to the recycling center. At home, I made a few calls and filled out a form to mail.
Anyway it’s good to hear some positive stuff.

well , nick77 I too feel charged with positivity right now. It’s day one again stopping smoking. I guess I have to give up drinking again altogether. I tell myself I will have just as much fun bartending the hot tub like I did last time except with no alcohol. Every other time I’ve gone to my sister’s mansion I reach for the pack of cigs they have in a little box…every dern time! Maybe I just shouldn’t visit my sister’s house? what do you think?

I don’t think that not visiting your sister is the answer. Maybe simply ask them to not smoke when you visit and get rid of all the cigarettes in the house while you’re there.

I’m full of energy, too. Taking care of a housemates cat while she is in the hospital, bought a car - it’s a cute little 2008 Chrysler PT cruiser, got my annual SSI eligibility work done, got my computer fixed, plus the usual chores. I think it’s just the better weather. I still get crabby and uptight though.

Wow… maybe I’m not going manic after all… maybe I’m just riding the wave of positive vibe and the energy of spring.

You really have helped me over past two years or so that I’ve been on here. You have a lot of advice and life knowledge. Thank you for all your input. I look up to you.

Thanks SurprisedJ, I’m glad I could help.

Maybe it’s a combination of both. I hope you’re not suffering from mania and it’s just the season you’re experiencing. But I wouldn’t dismiss it altogether. Trust what people tell you or at least take it into consideration. They may be wrong and you may be right. Just be careful.

Good for you Chordy.

What can I say? Things change for me at the drop of a hat. For example I had a great day today and suddenly my symptoms are setting in now. It’s just how life goes. One day can be awesome, the next terrible and then good again.

I hold on because I know the good days will always come again. It’s an important thing to keep in mind for anyone.

From an old Mel Brooks movie called The Producers. The premise is that Gene Wilder is trying to put on the WORST musical he can on Broadway. So he does a musical about Hitler!
