Visiting Sam (16th February)

In the morning before visiting Sam.. I was rushing around putting films and TV series she may like on a USB key for her to watch. I was fast at putting make-up on before heading on my journey to see Sam. I don’t usually put make-up on, only when I am hypomanic. You got to love Bipolar at times.

I don’t know how I dealt with the journey as I was anxious and exhausted from doing so much whilst being hypomanic. I managed to keep myself occupied by writing in notebook and reading on the train to Victoria. I don’t usually do those things due to Social Anxiety. I have no idea how that works, but yes! When getting to Victoria, managed to buy myself some Wasabi sushi set, before getting on the coach to see Sam.

I was a bit scared of getting on the coach, as I haven’t been on that route for a while. I was worried about having to ask for ticket, the long journey and when to get off the coach. I still managed to do it, probably because of the hypomania. I was still worried about having panic attacks. I can still picture my panic attack on the underground a while back.

I got her a special Valentine’s card. I thought it was appropriate with a badge saying “The most gorgeous person ever.” I hope she liked it. She also loved receiving a few presents. Whilst I was there, she spoke of a police man working as a staff nurse there now. Sam being inquisitive about police and their job, asked way too many questions of what she has experienced etc. I am sure it passed time anyway!

On the way home I managed to get the coach after waiting forever for it, was awkward being crowded though. Next time I will make sure I leave at 3.30 or something. I didn’t get home until around 9pm I think. It was a good day seeing Sam. 🙂
