bpdgirl Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm amazed by how much I've done in the past two days. To think that just last week I was having suicidal thoughts and attempting. Do you think this is normal? 1. Phoning up about support accommodation for those with mental illness 2. Looking for flats which accept housing benefit - arranging a viewing for one 3. Looking into benefits and what I could do to make up for the financial short comings 4. Skype interviews with French family and now been made a job offer 5. Arranging appointment with Careers Advice people at Uni tomorrow 6. Appointment with Dr on Thurs 7. Appointment with first ever Care Coordinator on Fri, then flat viewing 8. Revision - although, concentration still v patchy 9. Replying to e-mails (something I fail at when depressed), confirming appointment for next week 10. Looking at some support sites I was given from Duty Worker re depression and the like 11. Doing exercise in the past two days. Nothing today as had horrible sinus pain 12. Socialising more with the housemates as opposed to being a moody grump as when I'm depressed! 13. Picking up prescriptions today (even if a week old). Seriously struggle with that when depressed Slightly disturbed lol! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeLamp Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I sometimes worry the same. All I'd advise is dont look a gift horse in the mouth :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdebbiem Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have times like that where i seem to make myself really busy and get lots done...then it flips back to doing nothing and not caring. Good for you that you are keeping yourself busy and making plans for your future. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bena.baby Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 It seems like you've achieved a lot, that's a good thing. Hypomanic is when you run around thinking you can start your own business with £1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenthing Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 well done!! don't be frightened by what you have achieved - you have achieved it because you are a very capable person not because you are ill ((((((hugs)))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow girl Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have patches like that too. Enjoy it. Don't worry why you have this good patch just make the most of it and be glad you have achieved so much. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bereft Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I know what you mean, I do the same thing. I've wondered if I was hypomanic, but it's over so fast, I don't think it can be. Maybe it's just part of having bpd. If I remember I'll ask the doctor next visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saharah Blue Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I think it just shows you have a lot of high functioning skills to help keep you moving through life, it show strength. I flip back and forth too. I Make the most of my good days because that is how I survive through the bad ones when I can't function through the pain.
