This is how I feel today

Let's see, I went for the movie on Friday. Then on Saturday I had gone to see my Uncle's Daughter's house. And then yesterday was the sort of "Christening" ceremony of one of my neighbour's children. And now today, I'm sitting here, in front of the computer, just enjoying my self. Happy at the fact that I'm not feeling Bipolar anymore. Content is what I should say.

Just spoke to my sister again this morning and will speak to her again soon. She just shifted flats. They were living in a one bed roomer and since my in-laws are going to be staying with them next year, they thought they'd shift into a double bedder. They're enjoying themselves up there in Baltimore, my sister and her husband.

Have to call up my Uncle too, that is my mom's brother. I wasn't talking to anyone when he called due to my mood and now that I'm not feeling like that anymore I thought I'd give him a ring and explain my self to him. I also have to decide whether I'm going to take him up on his offer. He'd told me to come down to Sydney this holiday season so let's see what unfolds.

Another day, another post...

I went to see a movie the day before yesterday. It's in this new theater chain that's opened up in the city called Inox that's in GVK One, one of the new malls that's opened up in the city. The city's been seeing a huge upsurge in this, the advents of new malls. Shopping, even if it's only window shopping seems to be the new craze right now, and people can afford it I guess. Having jobs at this age, which is pretty young right now by Indian standards, and getting paid is every young guy's dream.

We had gone to see Inglorious Bastards, the new film by Quention Tarentino, and I liked it a lot. More than the last picture I saw, which was Star Trek, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the original. I don't know if that was because the film wasn't that good, or if it was an effect of my being in a normal phase right now.

It's been over a month now and I still feel normal, no recurring high and low phases. I think this medicine might be actually working, keeping me on an even keel. I also have this blog to keep up with, which I plan to do this time, hopefully.

A new beginnig.

Yes, it's me again. Any of you reading who might know me from Metachat might be familiar with my rigmarole by now. If one blog doesn't work, then just move on to the next one. But I want things to be different with this one. Firstly I don't want to repeat the same mistakes that I was before with my other blogs. I want to be upfront about my condition, and it's in that regard that I want to stand before you and tell you that yes I am a Bipolar patient. What is a Bipolar patient? Some one who suffers from Mania (excessive highs of happiness on one side of the spectrum, and then lows on the other). It's my disease. What I have to live with. I am taking medication for it and have been doing so for a long time, and will probably keep on taking it for the rest of my life. It's how I get Better. One minute I'm up, and the next I'm down. Or at least I used to be. I haven't had a depressive episode in almost a month, since I started this new medication. I'm on Lithium right now. My shrink suggested that I try it and see if it works. She was in two minds about giving it to me earlier because of the side effects that it has (my hands shake a lot because of which I have to take another medication). So yeah, I'm free now, finally thank god. I just hope and pray it stays that way.
