Happy New Year. May you all be well. My sense of activism has changed over the years in that my focus and education is directed at the people in my life who know me and appreciate my talents as well as understand that I have an illness that is very…
It feels like I lost something.
I think it was last fall,
on a week-end in what would
come to be another country.
It's not that I stopped looking.
I just don't remember where.
Sounds so simple doesn't it.
It's not.
Thank You Amber, I haven't been…
Linda: Good and helpfull coments are coming your way.
In A.A. we say keep the focus on yourself. No matter what you might be thinking (worrying about), things have a way of working themselves out. It's hard to relax but it's really worth paying atte…
Linda: It sounds to me that you are doing all the things that you need to do to take care of yourself. The important part is to stick with your recovery plan no matter what. Klonapin is a very dangerous drug for people like me. Are you sure thats th…
Dear Julseybugs; What a great message. I'm sure you try to be more understanding of others and tonight I wish you as all the others a peace and well being. Rest well and thank you all for helping me. Chris
Amber: God is what is helping you right now. You have to go to the hospital or call anyone in your network. It will pass and everything is going to be O.K. This comes from a person with almost 30 years of experience in woking on getting well. Dying…
So sorry about Chester, our pets are part of us. I have two cats, the 10 year old I got when I was in a deep depression, I spent 90 percent of my life there, and that was pretty well the way she was too. When I went manic 3 years ago I got a kitten,…
Beatrice: I have been trying to find the "change my photo" link on the left hand side
menu. Is that on my home page? I don't understand how to do what what you are talking about. I do not see on my settings where it might say change photo. Can you h…
Hey gals: Go to the Pet Story's post and tell us something about your dogs. I miss Chester terribly as I'm sure you miss yours. I own my weeping and make no apology's for it. best to you all and sleep well tonite. Chris
Pam and Holly: Please allow me to play the heavy and indulge me. NO ONE COMES BETWEEN ME AND MY SOBRIETY. IT'S NOT A MATTER OF CARING OR NOT CARING FOR YOUR FRIENDS. Of course they are your friends in what ever capacity and you care for them deeply.…
Chris, I am so sorry about Chester. You are in my thoughts and I know that you and Chester will be together again someday.
I lost my beloved Kiki kitty on January 26th. He would have been 17 in March. He was my little soul mate and I know he is wit…
Hi Chris. I"m a little confused about 'identity changes' two protect myself, but I have changed mine. I know that anyone, anywhere could find me here. My husband says I shouldn't ever use my name or personal information as 'screen names' and passwords. Any way, I thought you would appreciate knowing who you are talking to. I am Susan.
Hi, Chris, thanks for your message. LOL, I can't always figure out computer stuff either, hence this reply to your comment wall instead of a message directly to you. I'm very sorry to learn of your doggie. We got this guy after having to put our beloved goldie, Buddy, to sleep; 12 years old and riddled with cancer.
This guy is a min pin named Zippo. He had been thru 4 different homes in 1 year (human problems, not him). With us, he has found his forever home. He's quite the character!
Why do our beloved pets have so short a life? They bring us such comfort and unconditional love. They really help us 'mental cases', lol.
Thanks for your comments on my poem. The Evil that lurks inside of me. IHow can someone be so kind, considerate, spiritual, etc. Knowing (remembering) the evil side is there and will always will be. I am BiPolar1/Rapid Cyler. Example: Making My Husbands lunch - I was in my "low" episode. He leaned over and gave me a kiss on my cheek.I went berserk. Yelling that he was in my kitchen an thru his lunch across the room. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??? I KOW I am a very good, nice, and lovable. Where does such evil come from?? It seems to only rear it's ugly head When I am at a low point. Anyway Thank You for your comments on my poam!!! Do Not Forget To Be Good To Yourself!!!!
Hi Chris..seems that you are an active participant here...I could be as well. I was diagnosed bipolar at age19, and now i'm 45. I'm doing fairly well now, but as you said, the nature of the illness has changed...so much I could talk about. Perhaps we can chat one day and trade stories...:) take care, jeffrey
