hi dinah & tina,yes, sept. 11 knocked me out for awhile, too...
tina, i hope that even though you haven't called the doc, you are taking care of yourself. sorry i haven't written in a few days, i'm all over the place, with a week of hypomanic symptoms, one night was really weird, slightly scary. no big deal, no anger or irritability (no punching holes in walls), just going to bed late (2 or 3 am), then trying to get up early to go teach 6th graders... even so, i don't feel sleepy in the afternoon (this is a typical hypomanic thing, not feeling the need to sleep much), but i'm wired out and a little frisky. (and i don't mean cat food...)
your last post talking about your symptoms: the epiphany about spending money and the flirtatiousness... that is really interesting. have you done any more dog-walking and come up with anything else? i'm sorry to hear about the issues with your husband... don't know what to say... since there are about a million "Tinas" in canada, you probably can feel safe talking about it, if you wanted to...
i think the advice about contacting the nearest university with a teaching hospital is a good one. they should have someone who is an expert... you should really ask for one whose specialism is BP. i really hope you can call. although i know the feeling of not being able to, it's so difficult to do, especially after the merry-go-round with the other 5. (the inept morons...)
well, write if you can, i'd love to hear from you...
hugs,
W.
