A review of my emotional rollercoaster...

[imperfectionsrme]

So, this is how my week has gone... The dashes will separate the days...

... ... - ... ... - ... ... - ... - ... - ... - ... ...

And that brings us to today... I guess I'm ok-ish today... Just really confused and kind of 'meh'... ya know what I mean?

Anyway, y'all are thinking I'm retarded, but the idea just popped into my head, and it quite acurately portrays what this past week has been like for me... I think I may have missed a few 's in there, but oh well... I think y'all get the point...

Hey,

I don't think you are retarted. It sounds like a rollercoaster of a week and I think it's good in a way that you've found a way to convey that by using the emoticons.

Is there anything we can do to help you with this or was it more that it was beneficial for you to share?

*Sending hugs*

It's just another way to chart moods, not retarded at all - I actually think it's quite cool.

Sometimes it helps to monitor at set times- like how do you feel on waking up, before going to bed, did you forget your meds, for women- that time of the month. Charts such as these are really helpful to doctors. Also, the thoughts that accompany the feelings help clarify things eg. crazy as in multi-coloured socks will go really good with my dark blue work suit, or crazy as in I think a 4th cup of coffee is in order. Did anything happen or is happening to make it a rollercoaster week?

It was just an idea that popped into my head, so I thought I'd share.

I don't know why it's been such a rollercoaster. I have ups and downs, but for some reason they were really extreme. Might have had something to do with that time of the month making it that extreme. This week's been better, but mainly because I haven't been completely and utterly depressed when I get down like I was then.
My therapist thinks that I might be bipolar. I'm gonna start searching and see if any psychs in the area might have a sliding scale or something? Cuz I don't have insurance and I don't wanna add very much to the medical bills I already have...
