Autumn is my favorite time of the year. But I noticed that it seems I'm more manic since the weather is cooler, colors are changing and the sky is covered with a sheet of blue. My mind races with so many ideas and things to do. I have difficulty focussing and go from one task to the other without accomplishing anything.
I'm happy, full of energy, laughing to myself, bouncing, but....... can't get anything completed. That's when I know it's time to try to sit in my bedroom where there is less sunshine and calming neutral colors. Writing, photoshopping, painting, meditating, cooking and exercise helps slow down those busy little electrical circuits.
I may not accomplish what I planned to do, but I know now that I do have limitations and If I only get a couple things done I have to accept it just like someone with MS who has difficulty walking.
It doesn't mean I don't get frustrated and angry with the disease, but accepting my limitations causes less stress and less stress can prevent an episode.
