It's been a long time since the weekly check-ins, so I figured I'd start one up. How's it going? (self.bipolardisorder)

For myself, I've been feeling a lot of despair, but try to balance things out by going to music shows and the like. Tonight, I'm going to a local comedy show with a buddy. I think I'd be in terrible shape if I was single; living with my partner for the past 15 months has made all the difference.

Hope you're doing ok and if you aren't, I hope it turns around for you soon.

I've had too much of an antidepressant kick me into a manic state. Watch carefully to avoid getting too far in that direction. But if it's just having a slightly better outlook, that's awesome and I hope it persists.
