Low Morning

This blog is not all chipper fun and games, internets. The "nutty" part refers to both nut butters (my fav) and, well, ME. I'm nuts.

An M fun fact: I woke up so low that my head could be on the floor. In case you missed the memo, I'm manic depressive. If you want to get technical, I'm a crazy mix of bipolar I and II ... I've got the characteristics of both and pretty badly when they hit.

Depression has hit me badly today, internetz. I've been in a low state for a while. I wonder if it's time to ask Dr. J about changing up my meds a schosh. I've been on a combo that changed my life, ya'll. But sometimes meds stop working. I also realize that I'm under a tremendous amount of stress - I just learned about surgery - plus I'm having to save up some money that I didn't ever think I'd have to be saving up (reality hits a twenty-something), and March is an awful time where I live. The winds reach up to 50 mph, and they really hit my mood hard. Can you tell I can't wait to move?

Honestly I may just go back to bed today. I'm not going to act like it won't happen and I'll jump on my bike and work out life's problems in a constructive way when I'm this low. Sorry people who are looking for a blog that's always uplifting. I work in a realistically terribly bipolar world some days. :)

Moving on to breakfast - I made a wonderful bowl of oatmeal.

- 1/3 C oats

- 3/4 C almond milk

- salt, nutmeg, cinnamon

- 1/3 C granola

- 1 small banana

- almond butter

Maybe a mid-morning nap will help?
