I struggled quite a bit in 2016 some of it was Bipolar, situational and some just plain foolishness , but 2 IP stays were much needed.
So I am going to start tomorrow like any other day and be grateful I'm upright ! If I had to pick a resolution it would be to expand my social circle and find a good coffee shop and join a book club or something like that .....need more face to face friends. You ?

We are going to go to AA meetings finally to sober up and meet new people. Its so scary for our system, guys and gals. Hopefully boosting our stabilizers will help fill in some of the holes.

Hmmm I don't wanna say or I might back out. So let's just say everyday at 1pm I have an appointment
2016 was the year I finally moved back to my home state and close to family.

2016 can go suck an egg. Other than my vacation in Central America, this year has been ugly and I'm happy to see it go. While I know better than to think a simple calendar change will make everything magically OK, I can't help but hope this new year will be better.

Continuing to work on physical rehabilitation.
Hoping to increase overall stability by recognizing and omitting as many triggers as possible. I hope to find more joy in everyday life.  WC |

I plan to work more with my therapist on getting some coping skills in place and to be more accepting of myself. I have always struggled with self-esteem issues and after what happened to me around Thanksgiving I am going to try my best to take better care of me, both mentally, emotionally and physically. This roller coaster ride has got to stop, or at least slow down a bit.

I like challenging myself, so my resolution is to be (not to look) thirty years younger. (smily here. I forgot).
Happy New Year.

2016 was beautiful and intense for me. I had my lowest lows and highest highs and I saw so many things living in Rio de Janeiro, going back to Berlin, making and losing friends, crying and laughing.
2017 I want to be a little more stable, a little less breathless. I am going to write my final law exams, move to another flat, go to Chile and hopefully dance Tango and do Kickboxing and write stuff for a new book. |

I'm going to try to take better care of my physical health. My mental health has been well controlled for almost a year but I always neglect myself physically. It took me ten months to go to the doctor for pain in my stomach that turned out to be an ulcer. My first goal is to make an endocrinologist appointment. My pdoc has been pushing me to because my prolactin is extremey high and I've been avoiding it. But my therapist finally convinced me to go so I'm going to call this week and make an appointment.

 That's quite a goal!I'm not a new year's resolution person*, but did sign up for a group therapy thing, which is kind of scary. Especially seeing how it involves... you know, people.  There are some things I need to try to get a handle on because the current levels are consuming me.It's a kind of resolution, though the new year's timing is coincidental. *But there was one year that I resolved to learn my own phone number(!)  Lol.
