Fridays are always fabulous, especially when they lead to a three day weekend! I’m staying focused on the positive and continuously doing things that make me happy and healthy. I truly believe that your mind is much more powerful than you can ever imagine: if you want something bad enough, it will happen! I know what my goals are, I have daily affirmations, and I have purpose… this all leads to happiness. Do you know what you’re doing here, what’s your purpose? Have you thought about it lately? If you haven’t you better start, I promise it will make a world of difference. I’m bipolar (I mean crazy) and I love life, there’s not one single person in this world that would make me feel any different about me, I am who I am… and that’s motivated, driven, intelligent, honest, and most importantly… happy!!! (no one can take that away from me!!!) – XOXO CrazyInHeels

OMG, I’ve been soooo busy it’s hard to get everything done! I was in Las Vegas this last weekend for a wedding. I had a ton of fun and discovered something new about myself, I can have fun with out getting drunk! When you’re on a lot of medication you need to be very careful in regards to alcohol. There are some medications, Tegretol is one of them, that you shouldn’t drink while taking, period! Then there are some you can have a drink with but you must remember that the side effects will intensify with alcohol, if you’re not sure about your medication please contact your doctor or pharmacy. I’m not going to lie I had a couple of drinks (when I say a couple I mean a couple) but nothing out of control.  I’ve learned to be confident and comfortable with the CrazyInHeels gal that I am and I have the most fun when I’m myself! When you drink too much you can feel depressed, tired, and sick (just to name a few). Who wants to feel like that?! I’m in a good place right now and I want to stay that way! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I’ve successfully made it through an entire week of work without losing my mind, so to speak! This was the first full week of work I’ve had in a while, the last two months had been horrible. I love it when I find the right “cocktail” of meds, not an easy task! Nothing like a crazy blond girl running around in her heels crying for no reason, those days are gone for now! Unless I see a really sappy commercial or read a great Hallmark card, yes… I’m that girl! My days are back to being full of fun, friends, laughing, and most importantly… shopping! Don’t worry I’m not “Manic” shopping, I’m reasonably shopping ;p if there is such a thing. Not sure what I’m doing tonight but I know it will at least involve a glass of wine and relaxing. - XOXO CrazyInHeels

Busy with life! Working and going back to school definitely makes me a busy “crazy” girl! I’m still trying to get back to feeling somewhat normal, finding the right concoction of medication. I think we’re close, it just gets frustrating as we sit back to see if this that and the other works. I’m excited to get on with life, be happy! I feel like I do so many other things (yoga, motivational cd’s, journaling, eating healthy) to keep my mind and body happy that it’s about time my emotions caught up. Sometimes you can only do so much, you have to remember there is a chemical imbalance you must correct before everything else can follow. – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I can’t believe how much one little pill can affect my life. I finally feel like I’m happy. Not a fake happy, a real happy that comes from within. I’m finally at peace with losing my Grandma. I miss her dearly but have allowed myself to walk through the grieving process. When I take a moment to remember and let myself cry if I need too, I feel better. My new med is helping me regulate my emotions. I wake up in a good mood and stay in a good mood. Life will bring happy days, sad days, disappointing moments and cheerful moments but I feel like I’m fully capable of dealing with whatever comes my way. – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I’m happy to be medicated! Is it possible to still feel a little manic when you’re on two mood stabilizers? I have no problem with this, who doesn’t like the manic high, but I don’t want the lows of depression when it subsides?!!!!! Definitely a great question for the doctor tomorrow… -XOXO CrazyInHeels

Busy running around. I’ve got to remember what my limits are. When to keep going, when to slow down, and when to say “NO”! I’m too crazy to be running around 24hrs a day 7days a week, I’ll lose my mind… not pretty! I’m having a good time with all of the excitment going on around me. Emotionally I’m feeling better than I have in a long time. I’m glad that I get to share in every one else’s happiness instead of lying in bed surrounded by dark sadness. I remind myself everyday of my accomplishments and strive for bigger and better goals. I’m the only one in charge of “My Story” and I can’t write a good one unless I get off my butt and do something. I of course will need the continued help of medication and my weekly psychologist visits! I’m doing everything I can to keep myself “normal”… and having a GREAT time now!!! – XOXO CrazyInHeels
