20/12/20 ###I am meeting Pal 9:00 am tomorrow

 What am I going to talk about?

Basically, I just want to touch base as a friend.

Once I decided that my illness is here to stay, I am not too concerned about how diverse my thought is.

I do not want to be worried about making money - that is my main agenda.  My priority is to get well.   

When I quit Nicorette it subsided a bit.

When I quit sugar it went down further.

When I regulate my sleep things get better.

When I exercise I improve more.

Therefore recovery is a multiprong approach.

Getting excited is definitely a big no-no.

So is stress.

I am not comfortable committing professionally considering that the illness can pop up at any time. 

---------------------------------------------

It seemed that false beliefs and delusions of grandeur are very common for those with bipolar disorder.

All I got to do is take care of the cause and the symptom will disappear.

Lesson from Diving Bell and the Butterfly:  You must take care of your mind and body.  In my case, my mind failed me. In Bauby's case, his body failed him.

What is the root cause that I must tackle?  None other than the body.  Without the body, there is no mind.  Therefore it is safe to say that if I take care of the body, it will take care of the mind. 

-------------------------------------------------

Only when I checked the people behind MIASA do I realized that they are religiously inclined.

I think I better stay away from them.

I believe I am an Ultra-Ultra Rapid Cycling patient.  My swings happen on the same day.

By the looks of things, I cannot do away with medication.  When I am excited or stressed the symptoms will be triggered.

I better continue consuming lithium.  I also have to continue Paliperidone for life.

Bipolar is a progressive illness if not treated.

My worry is the insulin spike caused by the medication.  If I can actually lose 40 kg in 5 months, then I can fight the effect of the medication.  Therefore I don't have to quit medication.

Instead of stopping the medication, I came up with SWEEF-nSS to lose 40 kg in 5 months:

S - Sleep by 10 pm

W - Wake up by 4:30 am

E - Exercise AHAD

E - Eat OMAD LCHF

F - Fast 72 hours/month and 21 days/year

n SS - no Sugar and Starch

-----------------------------------

I gotta go...  OK Sarah, since I no longer experiencing delusions of grandeur, I will not exaggerate myself.  I just say, goodnight and I love you, baby.
