Before we went to Lambertville, we had stopped at my husband's workplace for him to pick up a couple things and water his giant plant. Then before heading to Lambertville, we went to Trenton (the capital of NJ) to the best Buffalo wing and ribs takeout joint in the area, for takeout. At the end of all of this, I was happy to finally get home (a different city). Traffic was quite light, for obvious reasons. Q: Do you live in a different state than you grew up in?

Was born in a little town in West Texas but grew up mostly in Portland, where I now live. I went away for a long time--NYC, Nashville, Boston--and then, got recruited to come back home and decided to take that job. That was 1993. Time flies when you have bipolar 1.
Q: Dog person or cat person? I am sort of both. __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

Probably getting to snuggle with a koala in the Sydney zoo, or possibly, the first time I saw a big shark scuba diving.

Chocolate chip. My local ski area sells these HUGE cookies that have a diameter of over a foot and I've always wanted to get one, but they're like $14 so in my middle school ski club days I just watched others that brought money (just for the cookies) in awe.
Do you ever get a type of anxiety you enjoy? Past few days I've been anxious and I still am now but it's like I kinda like the feeling. On alert. |

yes.... most things I get anxious over!
for weeks (sometimes months) beforehand I get really anxious and really afraid about what might happen, yet when it comes to it, it's not actually that bad though most of the time I think along the lines of death, or a zombi apocalypse, or being restricted in some way... still I can't count the times it's over and I'm like what?. I was afraid of that?. wow. what kind of character would you like to play in a movie?. why |

Q: Can anyone think of anyone else with bipolar disorder that has portrayed a person with bipolar disorder in a film, play, or TV role? Can you confirm if Carrie Fischer or Patty Duke has? I've obviously seen a number of movies with portrayals of bipolar disorder, but I don't think those actors/actresses have/had it in real life. |

I heard somewhere that bradly cooper (silver lineing's playbook) has it are you trying to make plans for when this pandemic is over (like what you will do with yourself), or are you taking each day as it comes and only plan when you know it's going to be safe? |

So far I've had 1 1/4 video appointments and 1 3/4 phone appointments with my therapist and nothing yet with my pdoc. My pdoc is working from home now though so my next visit will be video I expect.
It's been ok. It will be better when they get things working better at my therapist's office. Their internet isn't great so the video is fuzzy and the connection isn't consistent. But they'll get there. I wish I could see him in person but it will be a while before that happens and this is definitely the next best thing.

not so much. not that he's a bad singer- he's good, just not really my style of music
what was the last movie/ tv series that you really enjoyed watching, and what was so good about it? |

I wanted to answer this. I struggle with the telephone- I always have struggled with it, I don't like my voice over the line I spend most of the time in a panic because I don't know what to say like to think I have got better though, I'll at least make the effert to start the conversation now. I used to only speak to automated machines but I do struggle in general with comunication, telephone or otherwise |
