Today was an amazing day. Started off rocky because I was really sleepy, but once I got going it was totally worth it.

Went out and enjoyed the gorgeous weather. My friend pushed me to go to the gym and thank God she did - did the elliptical, bike, ab machines, and walked around the track - put in a whole hour and a half and felt accomplished. Came home and spoke to my good friend from the UK on Skype, I love his accent so much! Then had an amazing therapy session in which I told him I registered for a writing class to help me with writing my book. It was fate because the class I found at the community college was called "Write Your Life Story" how cool is that?

I gave my ex's mom my new number and had a great conversation with her. She agreed that it was the right decision I made by changing my number and giving him no way to contact me. We talked about him and the good times and bad, and she said she'll keep me updated on him and promised to not let him know we talk. I got the closure I needed that I couldn't get from him. She told me she visited him today in the same psych hospital we were in together 5 years ago - he is even on the same floor with the same nurses that I knew too. She said he looked deep in thought. It must be hard for him, but I feel really good because I know he is going to be fine without me.

I decided today that I am going to love him from afar, and finally close the book on this relationship. I shed a lot of tears last night, and I think it's just what I needed.

I am moving on, and slowly coming off my meds headed towards better days. Hopefully, I can put this bipolar diagnosis behind me once and for all too.
