What Do You Do When You Feel Great but the Weather Does Not

And as the name of my other blog is titled And how I love to hate Today is a day that I dread.  Had plans of getting out hanging with my brother in his new apartment and the weather is just plain crappy.  We are having rain with thunder lightning and all the rest that comes with it. Last night the thunder was thundering and the rain was a downpour and I could not sleep of course.  So today wanted to go to craft store and to the apartment complex where I hope to move to and where my brother moved to He is decorating and I wanted to see it but the rain rained on my parade.  Now stuck in the house in the midst of a hypomanic period and I am so bored I have just been downloading apps to my tablet.  Had 2 cups of coffee and hope to relax and wait until the day is over.  Have a doctors appt tomorrow and will be able to take the bus out of this town but no excitement for the next few days.

What do you do when the weather refuses to cooperate and you attempt to control the moodswings that are as changeable as the weather.  I do not know about all bipolars but the doctors that I have talked to said the same my moods are sometimes governed by the weather.  Overcast days can be down times for me sometimes and the turbulent thunderstorms can trigger mania sometimes bad  and of course are out of my control.  Mother Nature has a way of wreaking hazards with my moodswings.  But there it is you cannot fight with a woman and she will have her way no matter what I do .

I hope that other bipolars are having a better time with the seasons than I am I am in a different climate I am in the northern part of the area I am used to the south shore but things here are a lot different and I do not seem to be able to get used to the different weather.  Hopefully I will not have to and will be back in my hometown  soon but until then I have to endure the cold wind and dreadful summers and winters that we have here.

Just a thought that I have decided to put on paper.  Beware of all of your triggers and being bipolar will be easier.  There is still a lot of research being done about the triggers of disruptions to sleep patterns, eating habits and climate changes.  The change of seasons often trigger a moodswing and when there are a lot of storms you may find that your moodswings are more often, more severe than usual.

Persevere in you goal of control and you may find that the more that you know about your triggers the easier it will be to try and control all of your symptoms.  It takes work but in the end it will be beneficial to you and in your treatment plan
