A support group that I go to had a 10th anniversary party tonight. One of the guys is a DJ so he did the music and we had a big hall. The turnout was really small (the group is really small right now).
When I arrived the few people who were there were not very enthusiastic. The music was playing and I love to dance, so I started bopping around while I was getting the food I brought ready. I ended up requesting a lot of songs, and I danced with a bunch of people. Met some new people, too.
I always used to be bouncy and loud and drag people on the dance floor etc. It really was fun to do that again. I wish I had some physical energy. I used to be able to dance straight for 45 minutes. Now I can barely get through one song.
I'm trying to think when was the last time I had that much fun. I can't remember.
I am reducing my meds right now, just finished coming off Lithium - I do think that it was sedating for me. Either that or I'm going Hypomanic (that would be a nice change from 9 years of severe depression).
Funny thing is that I was feeling so tired this afternoon when I got back from the grocery store. Had to make two trips up the stairs and they almost killed me. Then I had to do some cooking. I really didn't want to go - it would take energy. I'm glad I went.
Now I just have to figure out how to get to sleep...
