I&#8217;m knackered. I&#8217;m tired and I&#8217;m worn out. \u00a0I&#8217;ve got a pain in my chest, just strain I think, and it hurts. \u00a0The last few days so much of my life has cropped up and it all feels like circles within circles. \u00a0I know that it&#8217;ll soon be the second anniversary of the death of my dad and I know deaths and other dates can be triggers for me so I&#8217;m also conscious of that too. \u00a0Being level has made me realise how utterly shit and even horrific it is being unwell with bipolar. \u00a0When I&#8217;m hypomanic I think it&#8217;s fantastic. When I&#8217;m manic I don&#8217;t know what the fuck I think and can&#8217;t remember much of it either. \u00a0I want to stay level. I have so much life to live still. \u00a0It&#8217;s so easy for those who don&#8217;t have bipolar to assume what it might be like but I don&#8217;t think even a good explanation is good enough. I need to keep within certain parameters of &#8216;wellness&#8217; so that I can keep my focus on my business and my food growing, which I want to do even more of. \u00a0I know this time last year I was seriously unwell with pneumonia and also mentally unwell. I know that often things go in loops and circles so I&#8217;m quite aware that some of, if not all, what I&#8217;m feeling is that and I know it will pass. \u00a0It&#8217;s the fatigue that&#8217;s getting me. \u00a0It&#8217;s fucking tiring and my focus isn&#8217;t as good as I want it to be. \u00a0I&#8217;m still not fighting whatever it is although I can&#8217;t fully relax into it either. \u00a0It is and that&#8217;s all it is. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today has been a struggle so far.
