The danger is always when I crash and can then not follow through. I'm 60 and have been bipolar for at least 40 years. I've learned to control myself somewhat but will always be tempted by those colorful, juicy ideas that occur to me.<BR/><BR/>I agree with others here. Think of your baby-to-be as your main project right now, one that will need a lot of care. Allow yourself to rest. And when you're tempted to undertake stuff, let them be projects that you do for yourself, ones that won't affect others if you should fall.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you have a good support system. That is key.marjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3427274822037608854.post-72513302914714429052007-03-03T17:41:00.000-05:002007-03-03T17:41:00.000-05:00Nicole - You're so lucky to have a support system....Nicole - You're so lucky to have a support system.
