Matty Bipolar II Journal: 11/14/2010


Today's red dot is more of me trying to be positive then an accurate depiction of where I am. I have been in the depression stage for 7 days now, about to be 8 days. My normal depression stage usually lasts 2 days. I received news this week and a friend of mine died on Monday, that news along with money stress and lack of a social life has increased the length of this current depression stage.

I was able to decrease my depression a little, hence why I didn't put the red dot in the middle, by coming up with a plan to relieve my money stress and get serious about saving money for my Scottrade account so that I can trade stocks again. My lease is over in the middle of January and my brother's lease is over at the end of February. I am going to move to my parents house in the beginning of January to save some money and at the end of February or April (depending on how much money I have) we will move to Westminster area with my friend Jeramy and find a three bedroom house/condo/apartment for rent. This will lower all of our monthly costs, personally it will cut mine in half. We already know that the three of us get along well and I think it would be the best move for everyone. I will miss living in Denver though, I love my apartment now and will miss it. My plan is to move back to Denver when I am working full time as a Daytrader and can afford the cost of living.

I am hoping this depression stage ends soon. I can fight 2 days, but not 7. I actually stopped fighting the depression after the 4th day. Right now I am just doing my best to wait it out and distract myself with work, TV shows, and movies until it blows over.
