Thanks for your encouragement.

That is awful your husband is unwell and it is a great sign you are handling better than you would have before. Sometimes I feel strong and over it, but I still have times where I am a mess. Mourning what I feel I lost, in shock of what happened still. Processing sure comes in waves.

I have old trauma that I felt like I have a decent handle on. I thought yeah, finally feeling free. But then stuff happened nearly a year ago, that just hits so hard at times. Feels unfair I have to go through healing from more.

Exactly, especially when just coming out of a painful low. It feels good though you know it isn't. A part of you doesn't care it isn't.

The problem with hypomania is that it sounds like the opposite of a problem.

Bipolar sure is hard on our wallets. All those purchases did feel just fine and great.

I relate, it is past my bedtime. Except right now I am also having the nighttime brain shown here during the day.
