You may wonder: “How’s Kitt?” Well, a bit high on hypomania, but sleeping well with the help of meds, and titrating off my SSRI (at least during these longer-day seasons which trigger my hypomanic symptoms).

What have I been doing with my hypomanic energy and dog-with-a-bone focus? I’ve been active on social media, updating NAMI Central Oregon‘s website, and creating marketing collateral.

Luckily, my husband and I will relax next week while celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. That’s a wedding pic of us at Lake Tahoe.

Once I return from our romantic getaway, I’ll be joining NAMIWalks Northwest on Sunday, May 22 from 1 to 4 pm at the Riverbend Park in Bend, OR. I’m raising money at: namiwalks.org/participant/Kitt-OMalley
