Yes, I’m back. Not that I ever went away you understand, but for me it’s important to say that I’m back.

I have had a prolonged depressive episode (about two months) which has been horrible, but on Monday morning I woke up feeling completely different as if a dense fog has cleared in my brain. (It’s like that with me. I have no known triggers which is what makes my BiPolar so frustrating.)

I was able to instantly concentrate, which for me is amazing. I spent most of the day writing, which I haven’t done for ages and feel completely alive again.

During the last couple of days I have been mainly updating this blog. For those of you that keep your own blogs you will know that this can at times be hard work (not to mention time consuming) and for me it’s impossible while I’m down, however with WordPress I can cheat!

I keep a hand written daily (well almost) mood journal as a record of how things are going and also so I can look back when I am depressed and see that I have been there before and I did come out the other end. In this journal I also keep a record of the things that have happened that would also make an interesting read for a blog post. I usually then type them up, edit them, proof read them and then post them. Well over the last couple of months the last thing I’ve felt like doing is typing, editing, proofing and posting. My brain just can’t concentrate for long enough. I might get as far as typing something but that would be about it.

Well over the last couple of days I have typed, edited and proofed all my posts for December and January (so far). On Monday I posted December’s and I’ve now just finished January and posted that lot too! As I was saying, with WordPress I can cheat; I can set my own date-stamp so they will all appear on the correct days making up a journal over time.

And though those of you reading my blog online may not have noticed anything odd, those of you that have been reading via RSS will have found that you’ve just got a big pile of posts from me! Happy reading! (Thanks Pete for pointing this out!)
