It's been a while since I've made a dA journal entry. A LOT of shit has happened.

I broke up with my boyfriend. I had to. I was going through a severe mental breakdown and I attempted to run away from my own life - something I've done before.

I moved back in with my mom and my new stepdad. I'm an hour away from my job, but that's fine because I'm on medical leave. I've been diagnosed with Bipolar, and apparently I'm going through what's called a "mixed mood". I've been like this for almost two months now, with bouts of insomnia followed by days where I sleep for twelve hours straight, periods where I feel ready to do anything and everything, followed by days worth of sleepless depression with too much nervous energy. I've developed social anxiety, and even just today I've broken down into tears at the prospect of being dragged out into public.

I'm attempting to save my spoons for Thanksgiving tomorrow since I'll be in someone else's home with a bunch of people I don't know. No idea how well I'm going to  do tomorrow, but we'll see.
