We've been getting the 90's in Georgia with humidity 60% or more.
So I love it when it rains.:D I'm staying in with the A/C since the heat&humidity bring on my seizures. Belinda

Donna, have you checked your blood pressure at these times? The atmospheric pressure drops when there is rainy weather and storms. Many people are affected by it... it can also increase joint pains - arthritis, arthrosis and old injuries. Some could be the humidity but i think a lot is caused by the change in atmospheric pressure. And i'm wondering if it could cause a subtle drop in your blood pressure - that would make you feel tired.

just an idea

we are having spring...

well, actually spring sort of dashed in and dashed out right into summer.

and with both come POLLENS.

and open windows.

and ALLERGIES.

ARRRGHHHHH.

or i should say ARRRRGHHHHTCHHOOOOOO!!!!

in the day time it is also now hot and uncomfortable. i was thinking it makes me tired but (i just realized while replying to another post) that could be because i am getting fewer calories from not binge eating. or a combination.

today is rainy sort of. actually it was cool and cloudy which was a nice break. but i have my therapy appointment late this afternoon so naturally it will probably dump on me. lol.

The lightning didn't come into my radio room because I had thirteen ground rods grounded to the antenna,so the lightning went right into the ground. I also had my antenna wire in a mason jar filled with rubber,like the rubber of a tire. I had the radio's grounded with four ground rods. So no lightning came into the house.

I have another antenna that I will use. I'm not going to put another one in the tree for many reasons.

If this was too technical,I apollogize. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Friend... man this must have been wild. the description was not too technical for me. but woww... what a hit. I too am glad you are ok. It sounds like you were set up with major precautions already... good going there! ... all those grounding rods... wow...

~ waves ~ impressed to smithereens ;) :eek:

I broke down and got a tanning package, at least I can have a little artificial sunlight. It helps a bit

Yes. I have the same weather here. It's cloudy,and the temperature is 68 degrees. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Before I clicked in on this forum,there where 17 people viewing this Bipolar forum. Wow! I've never seen that many people viewing here at the same time. Good evening everyone. BF:hug::hug::hug:

I have a love/hate relationship with weather changes....

What I love watching... my body hates... I can usually tell about 48 hours ahead of a weather change.... as the barometier changes... RSD follows...

I haven't really tracked how weather changes affect my moods... will have to try to remember to maybe track these....

It was mostly sunny today.... around 80 degrees.... I stayed in the dark in my room...

Hope everyone is having a better day...
:hug:

Abbie,

it's nice to have you check in. :) i have stayed in the dark in my room many sunny days. :hug::hug::hug: i hope you feel better soon... my it has been way too long you have been suffering.

Friend,

yes that is a lot of people logged in... i've never seen that many either. some may be bots you know, but not necessarily. that's pretty cool. :)

~ waves ~ going to tuck in now, i think.

Friend that is an amazing story...glad that you are safe.
It has been hot and humid here all week.
we walked this evening 9pm for 25 minutes and we walked faster than we usually do, I need a shower now.
I am so thinking that we need a tread mill.
but then you burn off more calories the more you sweet right?
waves- hope you are sleeping :Zzzz:
