So my girlfriend and I broke up (kind of, we're both going through real crap in life right now. She and I want to keep trying so we are...) and in addition to that I'm Bipolar disorder II. That means instead of the typical Bipolar people think of with extreme anger and extreme mania, I cycle through less severe versions of both the highs and lows but much more frequently and I also have been having issues with anxiety to where I have felt like I'm gonna throw up the past three days straight.
It's funny how detailing has helped me. It has given me something to do by myself and see improvements in, but I have a rule: if I'm pretty upset or down or whatever, I don't allow myself near my paint. I don't think (actually I know) I'd ever damage my car intentionally out of emotion, but if I can't put all my focus on the task at hand then I can't be sure I'll do a 100% job.
So my car hasn't been washed. My parents have asked me if I'm okay because I haven't washed my car once in the last 2.5 weeks aside from one rinseless wash.
Even my dog knows something is up. He walked upstairs and scratched on my door until I let him in only to lay down next to me which he's never been much of the type of dog to do (doesn't EVER come upstairs either).
Oh well. As is almost always true: I'll be fine. I just wish I could gather up the energy to go do something to my car. I need to do a light correction and remove the Duragloss coating and apply Cquartz Classic some time this summer. I have plans to do an engine detail and finally use my Carpro Ceriglass and Rayon Pads from Christmas soon as well.
Just goes to show that detailing isn't the only thing.
