We had a long 3.5 hour family meeting and my sister said something that really stuck in my craw. She said all 3 of us were chaos. That was unnecessary, unkind and untrue. So why was I triggered by it? It’s really bothering me.

I got to float in the sun after many days of rain. It was nice. I may see a movie this weekend with my daughter. I hope so.

I hope everyone has a good weekend.
Well, that was a mean and unnecessary remark that your sister made.

Interesting about your diagnosis. I have wondered the same about myself - if my "bipolar" is more about trauma and not having learned proper coping skills as a child, in addition to various types of abuse. But then I remind myself that I'm on a lot of medication; when I'm not my mental state looks quite BD.

Enjoy the sun and your whole week-end. You fully deserve some down time, Jennifer
