Can't I just have some ME time??

It's been a rough day, a rough 2 days actually. I'm in hibernation mode and no one around me seems to understand that. I really just want to be left alone. The kids come back tomorrow and that means I have no me time so tonight I'd like to have myself to myself. 

Austin and I went to a movie and went to dinner last night, but I think he's feeling uneasy about me being 'alone'. I guess he just can't understand that.

I saw my doctor yesterday. He said I'm making great progress, but he still upped my mood stabilizer to 400 mg a day. That is the highest dose that I can go on for this particular medicine. If this doesn't work better then I may have to change meds, which could result in another hospital stay; and while I miss it sometimes, I don't think I could do it again, especially without my little group of friends. The goal is though, to have this work so I can slowly reduce the schizophrenic  medicine (since I'm not actually a schizophrenic). This med is to help calm me and keep my mood fairly regular while the Bi-Polar meds build up in my system (which could, and has taken many months so far).

Other than that it's been a 'normal' day. No major issues to confront except my irritability. Now I'm off to bed early, like an old person (no offense to the older, more refined readers XOXO)
