I am really struggling today. To find meaning, to find hope. My butt is getting severely kicked by bipolar depression that I can find almost no hope. I have though been giving myself some positive affirmations to hopefully bring out some joy in me. I thought I would share it here:

May every day of your life be as special as your heart and as warm as your smile.
May each day come to you wrapped in all the wonder and joy of living.
May each day be full of memories and bring you all you're reaching for.
May there be a thousand wishes shinning over you.
May each day bring on the fun and pull out all the stops, and be one rainbow after another.
May it make your heart sing, your feet dance and your wings soar.
May it bring you all the happiness you deserve.

May each day come wrapped in love, tied with joy and sealed with memories.
May it bring one big surprise after another.
May you make the time to remember there is no one else like you -- no smile as warm, no hug as gentle, no friendship as beautiful.
May each day celebrate your strengths, honor your understanding and recognize your goodness.
You're the greatest.

May your life be as precious as you are.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been struggling this week for some reason and I'm trying desperately to pull myself together. I ended up leaving work early today, I just couldn't handle it anymore.

Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I know how overwhelming this can all seem. But know that you have been through this and gotten out the other side OK. Think of it like a broken bone - it is sore at the time, but is treated, and within 6 weeks you are on your way again.
I find I need to confide in someone when this happens. I will spend some time with a good friend who doesn't ask questions, just allows me to be in her company and she carries on with her life. I just tag along.
In the past I have also just refused to get out of bed, but you end up ruminating over things in your head, and spiral yourself downwards. Have that one friend you can confide in and who will drag you out of bed

Thanks for sharing this. I especially like this one: May each day come wrapped in love, tied with joy and sealed with memories.

I feel like the symbolism can span all of life, all my relationships.
