Not so quick update

So I have been on my medicine lately and I have been busy. This summer I have not been able to find a job so I decided to write a book. Yes a book. I recently finished it with around 400 pages. I worked throughout the summer and spent many manic moments writing.

Problem with my blog is I question if people read it. I saw people from another country read my blog. I was shocked. Why read me? Frankly I thought blogger was kind of dead.

I have been having a lot of fights recently with people. Some petty things, but arguments. I have been really aggressive lately.

I saw my deaf Aunt as well. Her son is bipolar and I asked for help about how she dealt with her son having it. I am not that close with that side of the family so it was nice to actually talk to them. I also found out she is responsible for making movie theaters have subtitle equipment for the deaf community. She is also working on the B.A.R.T to make it better for the deaf population.

This has inspired me. I have been a bit lost lately, trying to think about what I want to do as a career. People seem to tell us that we need to pick something we want at 18. College is so expensive it really seems like we have one shot. So either you do something you love or you're screwed.

On that note, I have been thinking about advocacy. My parents have been pushing me to work on the Presidential campaigns. It seems like I should do that, but I am not that interested. Even though I am a political science and communications major, I cannot stand American Politics. It seems all we do is constantly bicker and fight. One side says one thing, the other says the opposite and we cannot even get things done in the end. I would rather be more concerned about world politics since we live in a global environment. My main thing is I want to help people. So an advocacy program seems to be the right thing for me. Maybe something with a health group for Bipolar disorder.

Medicine change! I was on risperdal for a bit, and lets just say I had some bizarre reactions. I would have a lot of nose bleeds for no reason. I am prone to nose bleeds, but there were different. It was very watery, big nose bleeds, would take a long time to heal, and would start with no reason. I would sit down and then suddenly feel warm liquid something trickle down my nose and smell the metallic.

I got pretty annoyed with this so I looked it up and found out I should contact a doctor immediately if I have an issue.  I am on longer on this medicine and on Abilify. It makes me sleepy and I feel drowsy all day.

Little things seem to tick me off, but the medicine helps. While I like the mania, I can reflect on how I act. There is a down side to it. A part of me wants it back. It is hard. I looked up a bunch of famous people with bipolar disorder and was stunned. Maybe I could be a great writer? Those of you probably reading this are shaking their heads. "Nope, you suck," well sorry this is more of a diary format. Screw the dear diary though, that is stupid.

I don't think I will post as periodically since when I get drugged up a lot from the medicine life seems to be a bit difficult. I REALLY want comments from people. You wont believe how much I want them. Follow or subscribe/subscribble whatever it is called on blogspot if you want to keep up with me. It motivates me to continue, and when I crash I will need motivation. But don't feel like I am twisting your arm. I am DESPERATE <---- lol. Do what you want guys. As long as you enjoy it. I have noticed a steady stream of people reading me or at least browsing so that motivated me to write this entry.

So until next time. Bysises *cough* bysies. 

Libido

Dear Journal,

Today is Thursday June 25th, and I went to bed at 6:00 AM this morning. The thing is I actually slept. For some reason even though I felt fine, my body was exhausted enough for me to sleep until 1. I would have even slept longer had I not been woken up by my sister to take her to work.

Is the medicine working? I  take Lamictal at such a low dose though, it shouldn't be kicking in yet. And I feel manic still. I feel GREAT. Although today I felt slow. Like the sleep kept me back and I wonder if that is why people feel great when manic. We don't sleep and our bodies compensate. While everyone else feels drained and exhausted I feel wired.

It doesn't sound normal. If people sleep 3 hours the night before, would they have the energy to even get up, let alone run through a day and cycle of 24 hours? Maybe I am broken.

Did I crash last night? Is that what happened. Or could it be something else. This is going to be a bit embarrassing Journal, but I have kept one symptom rather secret since it is a tad embarrassing. I didn't bring it up with the doctor either, although if he asked about it I might have nodded.

The symptom, my libido, my sex drive is waaaaay up. Like beyond that of a normal teen kid (even though I am 20) the desire to have sex is so strong right now. I would like to think it is normal for people to masturbate 2 or 3 times a day, me... It is more like 10 times. One right after the other. Its like I don't even have a long refractory period after I cum (lets face it this is a journal I will not say achieve orgasm), a few minutes later I am revving to go.

So during the night I kinda have been... busy. I have done things online and participated in anonymous activities to relieve myself. Sometimes I would like to think myself as sexy and others I do not. But during these times I just crave it, every fiber of my being and my mind wants it. I think I would fuck anyone at this point. Not just girls but guys too. Am I bi or do I crave sex that much it doesn't matter who with?

I have questioned my sexuality at one point or another like many people, but now is the first time I am really thinking about it. I am in a very progressive/open household so if I happened to be bi it would not be a problem, but question is I don't know if I can admit it to myself. Am I bi? Is this the mania? If I find I am bi will I come out with it? Come out of the shoebox (It seems more fitting than a closet)

Maybe my mind is just a bit weak right now. I don't feel like I am at full strength in this manic times. I felt so creative last night, new ideas for stories or writing just poured out of me. Problem is I didn't even write it down since I was a bit busy fooling around over and over and over and over.

So today was a bit slow for me. I am not sure I liked it. Am I crashing? I DON'T WANT TO CRASH I LOVE THE MANIA!

Then again it was also raining today. You would think I am in seattle, although if you look at times I say I am writing and times it is posted you would notice it goes by EST. Is there a way to change this and put EST instead of PST on the post time?

So during the rain I had to just go outside again and stand in the rain. Then I screamed and shouted (and let it all out. it goes on and on and on and on) just to sort of let it out. I feel better in the rain. I guess it has a cleansing effect or maybe I am a romantic in my mania and would kiss a girl and fool around with her in the rain.

It seems interesting to me I automatically think about kissing a girl. Are we conditioned for this? Or is that how I truly feel in a Freudian way. Sexuality is on a Kinsey Scale and maybe I rate my attractiveness to girls higher than guys? Am I attracted to guys? Stuff to think about.
