I'd have strategies in place that I follow instead of letting my MI tendencies get the better of me.

I could literally trip over my own two feet if I tried to walk somewhere right now (metaphorically speaking, of course).

What would you change?

I'd move Monday to today (Friday) so that I could get the therapy and pdoc visits I'm worrying about over with. Therapy I feel like I've been looking like I'm either faking or an idiot and pdoc because I need a med change badly and my therapist says I should go ready to be admitted in case so that's another reason to want it over with. Blech. It's going to be a long few days I'm afraid.

Yup, I'd totally move Monday to Friday too

Having mental health problems, no questions asked. Its a daily struggle and every day is a, "I wonder how I will feel." Between Bi-Polar, GAD, Panic Disorder, ADHD, and Narcolepsy...I feel like when my brain got wired the technician was NOT paying attention. That would be the one thing I would change without a doubt.

Blessings,
Matt S.

If I could I would make my husband healthy again. I depend on him for so much. I need him to stay strong.

I would bring my husband back. I would rather have died in his place than him.

I would have my daughter live a lot closer than the 6,000 mile distance that separates us now, and, more importantly, I would have her be married to a supportive, responsible, loving person, rather than be attached to the alcoholic loser who is the father of my two adorable grandchildren.

mattjstead - yes - my MI leave me wandering about things daily.

Valentina - that's so true - I sometimes say to myself: "If only I knew then what I know now".

Good point Onwards - in fact I've changed locations so many times in my life I've actually now lost count.

shattered sanity - my life is pretty damn complicated right now so yes, great point you've raised

(((gayleggg))) we're all here for you

- (((wildflowerchild))) I think of you often -

Woolly - distance separates me from a lot of my family too, it's hard, hang in there

lolagrace - here's to me sending positive vibes your husband's way

If I could change one thing I would take away my illness. It consumes me and controls my life and every decision I make is tainted with bipolarness. I wonder who I even am without bipolar.

BipolaRNurse-I am so sorry that your husband has such a horrible disease. There aren't words that cover this so I'll just say that and that you are both in my thoughts/prayers.

For me personally I wouldn't change anything about my life because I know it could always be worse. I have a co-worker that has been battling cancer and she has young children and it really doesn't look good. I wish I could take it away for her, I don't have children. To me my problems are nothing compared to hers.
