Im taking the FUNK out of FUNKy

Hello!  I hope everyone had a great holiday.

My holiday weekend started out great.  I did finish my "sanctuary" room! Yeah!

So Im proud of that.

But, I also did have a VERY bad Saturday.  It was a funky day for me, I was in a bad mood, and my husband and I got into a HUGE fight - that just kept going, and I did something I NEVER do and I took off.  I just drove and drove and drove.

I stopped at an unusual spot (if anyone is interested I will tell you that story...) and walked and cried and walked and cried, and walked some more.

It was a BAD day - and when I came home - my husband - who was worried sick about me - and I talked a little bit - but we had guests.  So I hid in my room for a bit and then fixed my makeup (Im sure it didnt help one bit! LOL!) and faced the guests and enjoyed fireworks with them.

Ive been in a funk ever since and I cant snap out of it.  Its annoying me and I just want to snap out of it.... but it will come I know...

Im doing great with the getting up and going to bed at the same time.....all weekend I woke up at 6:30AM - this is a HUGE accomplishment for me....I did take a nap on one of the days cause I was beat.

Ive been focusing on my eating and have been doing really well - lots of fruits, veggies, lean protein, and yogurt.....so thats been good.  And everyday Ive been walking a half an hour - which has been tough to motivate me to do.

So overall I know Im trying.  Im doing the right things.  IM going to go back to group on Thursday.  Im hoping to get in for a special visit with my therapist to help me out with Saturday's events and getting out of this funk....and Im reading Break the Bipolar Cycle.  Just started it - so I will let everyone know how it is.

On a completely non bp related note I just finished The Reader and that was a very interesting book.  Not at all what I thought it would be - and it was a quick read.  If anyone else has read this book I would love to get your take on it and talk to you about it.  Im interested in hearing what others think about it?

well Im beat so Im heading up to bed....not much to write today - hope this funk goes away!

Thanks for reading!  Enjoy yourself!
