Yesterday, the 23rd, I felt like crap...but that's my normal state. Being at Type II manic depressive; I'm almost always in a mild to moderately depressed state. (I'm familiar with severe depression but don't often visit that world.)

What's odd...is that today, the 24th I feel quite well (what for me is the uncommon 'manic' stage (which should not be confused with the wildly manic stage of a Type I manic depressive.) My 'manic' stage is itself always tempered and short-lived.

Whatever the stage, my intellect always functions normally; what changes is my level of energy, interest, etc. And for what it's worth, my energy level suddenly jumped up today.

P.S. For those who don't know much about it, 'depression' is primarily a mental defect that blocks logical thought from turning into action, e.g. I may be well aware I need to get up in the morning, take a shower, dress, and otherwise be 'functional' ------- but to do so is to climb a mountain. (There's much more to it but that's a basic starter point.)
