Some of you probably know that I suffer from a relatively mild
bipolar disorder.
One of the worst problems with many mental illnesses, is that
they're really just normal behavior taking to an abnormal
extreme. Like with ADHD, many boys are diagnosed and drugged
when they really don't need to be.
My depression really isn't bad (and my manic is almost
non-existent). However, we might as well call them periods of
depression as anything else.
What it really means is that I'm physically and emotionally
down. I'm a bit more tired than normal, need more sleep (and
usually eat a bit more, though I'm at least staying on my diet).
The most important thing (at least as far as this forum and my
online activity goes) is that I'm less motivated and have more
trouble concentrating.
Yes, I know why Mr. P asked me to fill in as the disciplinarian
that morning.
Yes, I have a new student (named Roger).
Yes, we have named the new pets (okay - I'll try to update that
one this morning).
Yes, Daniel has recovered from his illness and is back at work.
Yes, Garrett's doing okay, though he and I had a weird
conversation last week when he rode with me.
I think that's about it. I will update things as I get a
chance. Oh, Lassie Comes Home is going great. At this point, I
think 100% of the class has read ahead. They've even agreed to
do homework over Spring Break. I'll try to go into more details
about that this afternoon.
thanks for bearing with the quiet times. I hope to be back to
normal (as normal as I ever get) soon.

No Jack, I didn't know about the bipolar.
I will try to be more positive in my posts from now on.
Take the time you need for yourself. Especially the part about
getting the rest (sleep and down time) you need.

Thanks, but that really has nothing to do with how I'm feeling
at this point. It's really a cyclic/occasional thing, with very
little to do with outside factors, except maybe I fall pray to
it more easily when I'm already run down.
