first of all, let me say up front that Wants, Parker and Wisewoman said exactly what i would have said...maybe the periods would have been in different spots or i might have used a different word or two........but i endorse their advice.............

now, shirley, let me talk about something else. you said that if you took the meds and got better, people would think you're bi-polar? is there a stigma that i don't know about, for people who have the bi-polar disease? that's how that sounds to me. hells bells, i'm thrilled to death that i have bi-polar disease. if you had lived inside my head and soul for the past 40 years, it would be a relief to be bi-polar. i thank my higher power every day for that psych doc that diagnosed me correctly. i've never been so thrilled to have the meds to help me live my life in a normal way. ****what others think. i don't have time to worry about it. who cares what disease that we're dealing with?...it's no one's business, unless we want to share with them. living inside our heads, is not living. and that's where you are right now. suck it up and get over it. you are going to your daughter's graduation and you're going to make her proud that you're her mom. you do not have to socialize with a bunch of *****ettes. they are *****ettes today and they will be *****ettes tomorrow. giving away all of your power to the ex AND them, leaves you very little energy, doesn't it? and letting him live in side your head is not giving you much time to rejoice that you can have your Celexa..and rejoice you must, about the Celexa. (a woman, here, died this week because she paid her rent over buying her BP meds.. she had a stroke)..he's a jerk and the word above. a thousand times over.

your daughter is going to do something that is going to be the biggest thing she's ever done!! she's growing from one level to another. it is a bleeping big deal for her! don't get defensive with me and don't tell me that toughlove isn't working today, because i know you.....you'll read it and you're fling some cuss words towards Oklahoma and then after you've calmed down, you'll smile and buckle down to it. everything we've said is excellent advice.....and you want it, or you would not have come and vented here. you know that i love you and want the best for you.......what you're putting yourself through, is not the best.....xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoand lots of nose, from Fayeroe.
