My days are longer. I get more done. I have more energy. I am smarter, faster, better... I can do EVERYTHING.
Yup. It's the honeymoon period. It is official. I have no illusion that it will last. But here are the things I have going for me (especially on the whole mental-wellness front: I have to get up in the morning AND be functional. I am doing something I love and find meaningful. I am being financially compensated for doing this. I have colleagues. I have resources available to me. I know what I will be doing and where I will be every day. (Wow that one above sounds so basic, but it has not been true for some time.) So I am tired at the end of the day. And I go to sleep. So I can get up. And do the same thing the next day. I went and got a bunch of healthy stuff at a giant Costco run this weekend, because shopping right before the Superbowl is not at all amateur hour. Ha! And I have been making and eating healthier things starting before this job. And making it to the YMCA. It is almost like I am doing the things that are vital to keeping bipolar symptoms at bay, and my bipolar symptoms are... at bay.
