When I was unstable, I had tidal waves. When I'm stable, I have small waves that are slow in coming in and out, which is what is normal for everyone. Yes...I miss it..but don't miss the follow up downs that came after.

the creativity is wonderful... the flow if ideas is amazing... but the letdown into the "real whirled" is such a downer. I almost always "chase tomorrow tonight" when like that I cannot sleep, so the next few days I am almost unable to do any of the great stuff I dreamt up. Hoo-boy, fer sure!
