Bathroom needs to be cleaned again and I have no interest. Long as the sink and toilet work, I just do not care what anything looks like.
As I have recently shared, I forget meds all the time. Forget refills. I am working on maybe a pillbox and a google phone reminder. Maybe that will help. Not riding my bike at all. None. Never leave my apartment, unless absolutely necessary. In theory, going to our staggeringly awesome rose garden would be good, but I don't seem to be able to care enough to do it.
Anyway, I am not taking care of myself in my activities of daily living, is I guess maybe what I am trying to say. I don't know what to do. I don't have any help. My best friend, who would do anything for me, lives 3 hours away in Seattle. My daughter does not live with me and she is only 12, anyway. I am just struggling to live independently, I guess. It is really hard for me.

Thanks for sharing. I’m very sorry you’re struggling. This isn’t my style to say things like this but you are one of my “heroes’ on here since I appreciate what I think is your pure heart despite having been tarnished by those who try to hurt others in this world. It was brave of you to open up about this issue. I think it’s a hard area to open up about (maybe especially to someone irl who may misunderstand and or judge with possibly severely unpleasant consequences... especially to us “sensitive souls” which is no “weakness”... it’s a “badge of honour” to have survived for decades at all while experiencing bipolar and being “over sensitive” (not saying you are “over sensitive’ but I possibly am. Sometimes.
