struggles....we might as well be experts on the word.The ups the downs the meds the no meds the med adjustments the therapy the wondering if things will get better wondering if the world will ever understand

Right now i am on a good med combination and not only that i am (GASP) actually taking this as ordered! As my brain gets a break for a bit and the chemicals are smoothing out for a while i know i have to try and work on trying to shed the negative

the constant wondering
the constant fear of episodes
the constant difficulties in life (as i got fired, as i parent)
and i have decided to find peace and let it all go

when another episode hits...hit it may but i know there is always a cycle to the other side
my Job?? oh well it gave me more stress than i could handle
my kids? they know i love them and we will be fine

i hope everybody finds a positive beat in the tune of life today
cheers

You are such a bright ray of sunshine to us too, don't forget. I'm sorry for all of your struggles and yes, we do understand. I just try to enjoy the very rare stability when I reach it.
