Bipolar Has Trumped The Diva
Monday, November 29, 2010
It's been a bipolar week or two. Actually, I'm switching medications. I've been tapering off two of the meds I'm on. Let me tell you, that's big time fun!
One's a mood stabilizer, just the sound of that's scary. The other is thyroid. It was making me all jittery, cold and jumpy. I'm sure everyone I was around thought I was a crack whore, so I'm cutting that one back. I damage my reputation enough, I don't need a script helping me along.
My friend Joe died Saturday morning. That's been weighing on me. I want to get to Texas but don't think I can until February. I'll be going back in April as well, so three trips so close together are a bit too much.
I'm touring the private firing range tomorrow night to make sure I like it before writing them that first check. That will be a great distraction. I'll take classes a few days a week to brush up on my mad ninja gun skills. I bought some really cool targets. They have these insanely scary, life sized clowns on them, well, they're politicians, but what's the difference? I plan on relieving some stress by blowing the holy hell out of the things.
Hopefully that will help this bipolar fog lift. For those of you that know what has happened in the past with the foggy times, I'm safe, just foggy.
Tomorrow afternoon I think I'll make a trip to the Cheesecake Factory for some white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. I'm sure that'll help quell the fog.
I'll probably be scarce for a few days until things even out.

I hope the cheesecake and the shooting at things helps.
Love you.
Cheesecake and firearms. Who could want anything more!? Oh!WINE! OK, so, wine, cheesecake and firearms..
Hope the fog lifts soon honey.
firearms, cheesecake and wine, perfect combo girls!
Take care of yourself. Mental illness sucks. Death and grief stuff can be a real trigger for cycling.
Guns and Cheesecake sound like they'd make any day a better one! I hope it all evens out for you soon babes!
Surely all those politicians are Democrats!
Hope it gets better sexy!
Sorry to hear you're in a "foggy" place. BOO on THAT! However, the cheesecake can't hurt. You should try their peppermint bark cheesecake, HOLY SHIT!
Anyway....get better, and don't shoot anything you shouldn't.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Take care!
Firearms and cheesecake are good, but not together.
As in, "Don't shoot the cheesecake." That could be really messy, and un-Diva-esque!
And take care of yourself in the process.
I hate fog! Hope you be having bright, clear days soon. Have fun shooting and eating that cheesecake! I hear the Cheesecake Factory is awesome.
Take care!
It would be a good blog post to post pics of you shooting. With or without the wine and cheesecake!
Girl I know what you mean about that "fog!" I get in those sometimes with "my" fibromyalgia! Hate the damn things too! I hope it lifts asap! Have fun at the gun range and enjoy that cheesecake! Eat a bite for me! Yummy!!
Someone knows how to pair things ;-)
Have fun at the shooting range.
My daughter took herself off one of her meds too. Made her groggy all the live long day and made her feel..nothing. Nada. She got tired of it.
I personally really enjoy firearms, vodka and french silk pie, but whatever works for you! ;)
Feel better soon!
I'm so sorry about your friend. My thoughts are with you.
yum, cheesecake factory........
And prayer...that helps too. I'm going to say one for you.
I'm a big Cheesecake Factory fan and it's been a few months, so I am a bit jealous.
I'd love to see your mad ninja gun skills. I bet they are pretty bitchen.
Firearms, drugs and cheesecake. Sounds stable to me.
Sorry to hear about your friend Joe.
I am so sorry about your friend, I am sure your heart will take awhile to heal but I do think that guns and cake might distract a bit!
SOA is on tonight...that is fab right?
Sending you love.
So sorry about your friend. Hang in there and give the meds time to work. Remember - bipolar is episodic. These feelings won't last forever.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.
Hopefully you will find the right balance soon!
Take care. Hope the cheesecake works.
Get the good vibes going. It always helps. It will just take some patience but since you're so amazing, you will have no problems with it at all. I have faith in you.
Hope you're getting better by the hour.
Hope the cheesecake helps - that one is bar far my favorite!
:)
Meds transitions SUCK!!! I'm sorry and feel your pain!! I've been mixed mania and spinning my wheels not accomplishing the things I need/want to and I've come to the conclusion that I DRIVE ME CRAZY!!
I'm so sorry about Joe.
I hope the shootin' and cheesecake was a good distraction for a bit!!
BIG (((HUGS)))
