Not as often as I'd like


I'm not here as often as I would like. A friend was asking about my blogging. I'm on the computer every day but I rarely feel in the mood to blog....maybe once a month which isn't enough if you enjoy popping past to see what I've been doing.
It's been a rough month with incredible fatigue with my chronic fatigue syndrome. I've had to do a lot of lying down and life gets pretty tedious.
I am great when I am feeling mildly manic and zippy whereas the quiet, down time is really challenging. I wonder how other rapid cycling bipolars manage the quiet down times. At times I wish I had a fellow sufferer to chat to. It is hard for friends and family to understand my constant change in moods.
I have been studying the lunar charts more closely lately. I am always up near and at the full moon and I am usually down and quiet for the new moon. I want to learn to be more in tune with the lunar cycle.
That's all for today.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia

Hi Susan,

It was me wasn't it? I get the CFS stuff but I'm not so good on what it must feel like to be feeling great one day and down the next. I've got a friend in NSW who has rapidly cycling bipolar as part of her diagnosis and had a misdiagnosis of CFS for years. I'll see what I can do as far as getting you in touch with her.

love,
Rosemary

Susan,
I was interested in your comment about the lunar cycle. If you see a connection, do you yield or resist? I'm thinking of my own life where sometimes fighting a thing is infinitely less effective than going with the raging current and then changing course when I get the next chance...

Dear Margie,
I left a comment on your blog as well. Meanwhile I go with the flow of my moods and the lunar cycle. i find it nearly impossible to try and go against it. When I wake at 4 in the morning I try to put myself back to sleep rather than get up so in that way i try and change it.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia
