Bipolar Disorder Makes For A Confusing Disorder

After several weeks away, I am back. I moved about 30 minutes away from my home sweet home into a newer, bigger home sweet home. Well, we moved the weekend of Thanksgiving, but painted our butts off with our whole family the weekend before. We got most of the house, but I still have three rooms and a lot of touch up. I have bare walls and am not feeling like I am at home yet. Don't get me wrong, I love my new home, but it just don't feel like home sweet home yet.

As far as moods go, I have been all over the map. You would think I would be happy, but I find myself grieving over the other house I called home for over nine years. Then the weather came in. We have a half an inch of snow outside and I am snowed in...our street didn't get plowed until 5 PM. What am I to do. I have heard of SAD (seasonal affective disorder). I have been more depressed lately, but is it a coincidence that there is stormy weather? I usually live for Fall and Winter weather. I am at a loss. My Doctor has me trying to back off of either Klonopin by one milligram or Nuerontin by 300 milligrams. I have tried both and nothing is working. Maybe I just need to ride this out.

Forever Bipolar
