I never assign my strength to any one thing, because, as life has shown me, those things can be taken from you in an instant, same as for the non mentally ill.

Absolutely, there is scripture about that.
Thanks for this!

Good thread. Most days I do what I have to--dont want to lose my job and my "independence". I guess my main motivation is survival. Most days I would rather just stay in bed. So I guess it may be good that I have responsabilities.
Thanks for this!

Humor, the need to take care of my son, and that I can't teach him bad habits.

Hope that my life will get better and that I will feel better. Sometimes I imagine my day-to-day life as one big climb to the top of a mountain. I just try to keep the summit in sight.
Thanks for this!

When I was seventeen, a high school English teacher handed me a copy of Man's Search For Meaning, by Dr. Victor Frankl. and she said, "Here you're going to need this." Damn if it didn't turn out to be true.

In addition to the all-encompassing influence of my religious beliefs, Dr. Frankl's book delivered the missing elements to complete the circle of a rich and rewarding life - in spite of my serial bipolar episodes.
Thanks for this!

My two sons keep me going. Otherwise I'd just sit on the couch smoking cigarettes taking ativan all day.

As for cleaning up the house. I'm like you. I start stuff and never finish it. But I have found that if I make myself do one thing an hour (like making the bed, doing the dishes, clean a toilet, blah blah blah) I feel like I'm being lazy but also getting stuff done. Each of those things doesn't take more then 15 minutes and you can reward yourself by loafing on the couch for another hour.

Or sometimes my 6 year old will say "this house is a total mess mom. can you clean it by the time I get home?" Yeah. Wha???

My hearts still beating and my friends here. Somehow I want to do something where my friends can reach for me if/when I snap out of this mania back to depressionville because I definitely want to stay involved here and am no where near ready to try to do anything in my small local community. My past and status quo will follow me in my head.
Thanks for this!

Sometimes I don't know what keeps me going. I just do cause I don't have much of a choice.

I have 2 daughters that count on me to be there
