on my life journey I have learned many things ... of course I have much more to learn ...

Today I am 100% complient ... and I expect ( plan ) to stay that way ...
the constand tweeking of my meds has caused nothing but issues and not in a positive way ...
my belief was that my "meds" were causing all my problems and if I got completely off them I
would be better ... time after time I went thru this cycle ... I speak for no one but myself when I
say enough already ...

I feel better now than I have in a very long time (years) ... am I happy .. no .. am I issue free .. no ... do I feel complete as a man .. no ... as a father .. no ... as a husband .. no ..

However ... other than short term memory loss ... constant flashbacks of memories from 30
years ago ... and a constant case of the "giggles" ... ( you know ... very slight hypo) ...
I am content to be this way ... will it get better .. worst .. IDK ... but it will not be because of me
messing with my meds ... it is not me giving up it is me becoming content ... for me that is
enough ... it will be five years in Nov since my involuntary IP ... and I have hurt myself over and
over the whole time ... enough is enough ...

I would never try to tell another how to live there life ... but I really believe if you find that
"working" cocktail ... being content and just accepting life as it is ... is not such a bad choice ...
at least from my view 5 years down the road ...

Of course as I set here listening to kpop ... I know I am crazy as hell ... but I am content to be
that way ... with Love ... and Peace to all ... ( a contented .. Tigger. )

ps: sorry to anyone I have posted a strange or disjointed coment to ... not really all here ..
but I am content to be that way ... it really is making a positive change in the way I see the
world and my place in it ...

I Love you Soonkyu ..

Oh Wire................. I am so Thrilled that you are in many ways feeling better, You have searched for it a long time and deserve a good long stretch.

I also use the words Content... The word Happy to me just doesnt fit anyone MI or not.

Over 7 Billion people on this spinning rock and everyone struggles to find there place and being "content"

Good for you

I'm happy for you too tigger!

you guys make a good point. I am beginning to think "happy" is a fleeting feeling but wasn't meant to be sustainable. Evolution knew if we were all laying around being happy we would never get anything done lol

content. content is good

Content is peaceful. Peaceful is a dream to me right now. I have moments of happiness these days but that doesn't mean I'm content. The moment I'm content, someone comes along with a cattle prod to my azz to say "no, not for you" it's impossible to even be content when nobody will allow it. When the moment I smile, I get slapped upside the head for it. Oh, how I dream of being content. What a dream. I'm glad to hear it actually exists....I thought it was like an elusive pink unicorn, a fairytale little girls made up to escape the harsh realities of the real world.

I hear you Elsa

feeling "peaceful" has never ever come to me easy either.
I think what wirewister is saying is he is at ease with his life. mood swings will come and they will (hopefully go)
but he is kind of using the buddhist thing of "total acceptance"

Glad you can accept life as it comes, Tigger. Sure there will be bumps and sunny spots on the road, but it's the journey not the destination.
