I attended an event with my support group and while i had little interest in the event itself it was nice to be part of a group and look around and see familiar faces. I continue to be happy to have read about self-acceptance and had a nice time applying it to my weight -- a source of much anguish. I'm large and in charge!

I'm good. As good as is gonna get. Why fight it. Sway at the beat of life.
Everybody has problems. And most don't have bipolar.
Why blame every problem on the illness. Excuses maybe.

You're back!!

What illness? Are you ill? The lung problems? I see.

I thought you had BP and were in denial. Not surprisingly with all this talk of illness.

Read my posts or the one on self-acceptance, I guess. It's not by me, so must be true. Apparently it is readily understandable and more concise. Mine are just more true, but tainted by very bad expression. Lock me up, throw away the key, you know the drill.

Good to have you back!! At least you take me as seriously as everybody else, almost: not too seriously. Please get PC addicted again!

Actually yours is more concise still: sway at the beat of life.

Hummmmmmm...

I desperately need your help!! My front yard looks horrible.

As far as my check in...it's one of those days where I would rather be alone, but lonely because I am alone.

Yeah I've been putting money to the side. The guy at Home Depot that I talked to had me feeling I could actually do it! I was about to pay someone, but let me do some work around the house. Especially since the weather seems to have finally adjusted to spring. It may be therapeutic. Time to buy my shovel and get to it!
Hope you have a better day tomorrow

I had NO experience before this. You can do it! This cost me about $100. It would be cheaper if you start from seeds!

Got another proposal rejected with pretty weak marks. About what I expected but still hard to see. The thing is I want to do well and get better at things now, but I'm not sure how much juice I have in the tank or how quickly I can really make things go. Felt pretty low and sad about this, but I didn't give into it as much as I would've in the past. I think the key thing is to keep going. I'm calling it "get sulking done" like david allen's "getting things done" but to try to stop with the wallowing and self-pity.

Really down day. Couldn't pull it together. Everything like molasses. Brain. Motion. Hour and a half late to work. Co-worker aggravating the **** out of me. (*****ing incessantly about people behind their backs?! Ever notice I don't join in? STFU!!!!!)
At home, being nurse to sick pet, and to someone going through withdrawals.

Tired. Numb. So freaking tired.

Back in chains(more heavily medicated) I feel meditative, and I wonder if my life will always be a wrestling match between the painful freedom of madness and the hopelessness of chemically induced "sanity".

All my equanimity about being fat that i developed over reading about self-acceptance these past few days evaporated when i ate so much that i gave myself a stomach ache that lasted many hours. Am now considering Overeaters Anonymous.

I hope I'm not incorrect reading this with a bit of humor. It's as though you plucked this from my brain. I struggle with the balance between body and nourishment as much as I do with mental balance.

We all make those mistakes. But when I was on seroquel, my appetite went out of control. I would investigate that. And you'll get your self acceptance back. I've found those posts to be very inspiring. Take care

Good grief, I've been writing novels today. I sent a long email to my friends explaining my BP and apologizing for my behavior since I had another bad day and was a little mean. And a few replies on here were a little longer than anticipated.
Today was weird. I drank an energy drink since I only had a few hours of sleep last night. So of course my anxiety went up. I was just b****y and wanted to be left alone today at work. I had to tell several people to stop talking near my desk. I've never done that before, but I was irritated and annoyed by everything. Then that leads to guilt. But at home I'm good. I'm happy. No worries. This bothers me. The few days so far this week is just off.
Plus I've been listening to the new deftones album nonstop and it is constantly playing in my head. I love it, but it's a little distracting at times.

I just had the worst workout ever. I just couldn't get into it. I had no energy and every time I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror I realize how disgustingly fat I got on paxil (went from 135 to 160)
I ****ing hate myself. I'm so gross. I'm such a loser.

You're not disgusting, nor are you a loser. I too am the victim of the Paxil weight gain. I didn't even notice it until I was 40lbs heavier because my gyno pointed it out to me. I still gained until I finally was able to switch my AD.
Even though you look and feel disgusting from the weight gain, I applaud you for making the effort to go to the gym and do something about it. I wish I had that motivation. Please keep it going.
Thanks for this!
