I said recently that I don't want my Bipolar Disorder dragging me down and yet I feel like it is. I just made a very sporadic decision and applied for a credit card. Its only through the place I am having the car repaired so I can only use the card there. Its kind of good. It can build my credit as well, but I've decided not to take it. If I were going to get a credit card, like through a bank, I would go with Capitol One or Chase. I could use one of those to finance my car work.

(you may need to have credit already for these reward cards, don't know) We charge everything and have the bank automatically pay the full balance off each month. Our credit is wonderful and we never pay a penalty due to a late payment.We have not paid credit card interest in many years, nor penalties for that matter. p.s.I don't like chase, too many fees! bizi

Went by myself to an Acadiana roots music/talk show.
The paper here has guest artist come in for an intimate hour or so. I really enjoyed it! The musician is Geno Delafose, he plays a blend of styles:, cajun, creole and zydeco music on the accordion. It is very dance able and he sings in french. I learned things about him that I did not know. He is 46 and has played music for 40 years! He wear a cowboy hat but actually works on the farm in his free time.250 cattle take a lot of helping hands. Not only is he traveling around the country with his band, he finds time to mow many acres of land twice a month! From singer to playing in his band,to cattle ranching to mowing lawns....he is constantly busy! And a very happy man! I am really glad I went! bizi

Yesterday was a good day. Went to a work function at the horse track in Saratoga Springs. Watched my coworkers lose a lot of money betting on the horses. Successfully resisted an offer to go smoke pot. Then I went and looked at a new car. That went OK, although it wasn't the one for me.
Last night I slept without Seroquel, which always makes for a good night.  This morning I'm up early, and ready to take on the day. Glad I didn't smoke yesterday, I would feel like  about it today if I had. Went to the store and got a couple gallons of milk for the family. About ready to shower and head for work. So overall, a good start to the day. Hope everyone is feeling as good as possible.

Crap!! My birthday is today. I'm old. 50 years old. I feel yucky but also feel that I'm blessed to have come this far. I ate something nice at a restaurant after working and came home. Life is ok. I could have been dead by now and know that miracles do happen at times. I'm not saying I'm a miracle but believe that it is a miracle I'm alive. I believe in the power of positive thinking and being blessed by fate. I thank my family even though they are nuts at times. I could be still on the streets fighting for my life, but my mother took me back home and helped me to get back on my feet again. I also am grateful to the medication I take- Abilify. Without it, I'm a mess. With it, I'm able to live independently. I feel touched by higher spirits and beings who have guided me as my instincts. I believe in God and his angels and know a higher supreme being has looked after me in my times of desperation and need. I am not religious per se but know I could not have made it this far on my own. I am happy and semi-sane and love this life that God has blessed me with. It is unbelievable that five years ago I was on the streets sleeping near churches and eating from soup kitchens. I made a pact with my therapist to take my medication daily and to survive somehow in reality. This has made a difference in my life. Thank you for all who have helped me. Also, this site is wonderful for support and advice! Have a Good Day everybody!

I'm pissed cause I'm anxious, I'm anxious cause mum is talking about selling the house.....I gave up my section 8 to move from Texas to MN to help her. I can't afford to get an apartment up here, plus my car is on its last legs and the drivers side window will no longer stay up. If I was assured of staying here then I could afford a new( used) car but now being told to find a place to live! Forget that. So I'm out, no car no decent place to live...I'm catastrophizing .......but I know the reality out there......

I was doing okay on my medication until work started for the school year. Now my symptoms are returning. I'm experiencing paranoia and visual hallucinations. I can't concentrate well, which is hurting my job performance. I have a feeling things will only get worse from here.

I ordered a special license plate today on line. FOOT RN
The site said it would take 12 weeks to get the plate in.... golly that is a long time!  I feel like I am getting more hypomanic. My attention span is not good, I only hear about half of what jeff tells me. I spent many hours today at the motor vehicles office out of town TWICE because I did not have the right document! I feel dizzy right now...maybe that is the seroquel kicking in???? I need to go to bed as I work tomorrow, hope I can sleep! bizi

So I am a little upset, particularly with my brother in law. I had shell out my whole savings. I understand in helping my mom, but my brother in law could have helped. He has been driving her car, uninsured I might add.

I'm kinda down due to life events. I'm also concerned for a friend. Was supposed to see him yesterday but I never heard from him. My mind always goes to disaster. It's possible he just doesn't want to talk to me but I'm afraid something happened to him. But I'll never know for certain if he doesn't contact me.
I'm feeling down on myself a bit. Afraid I'll never find anyone else. Like I had my chance at love with my husband but then I killed him and now because of my behavior I will never find love again. Karma or something. I feel so horrible for how I acted in those three years before he died. I know it was my fault he turned to drugs and ultimately my fault he died. If I had gotten my bipolar under control sooner it wouldn't have happened. Now all I can do is hope I don't do the same thing to my son. I'm sorry. I'm just not feeling well at the moment.

Unholy Satan's Machinations!
That's all I've got today... Satan's Machinations. I'm sure that none will be disappointed, nor trigger themselves silly.  Elina Löwensohn Postscript: Lefty was lying! Just woke from a sweet night's sleep with the aid of diphenhydramine, valproate, and a hypnotic popular with Hillary's State Department whose trade name shall go unmentioned to avoid the appearance of endorsement. This drug combination is virtually guaranteed to render me dysfunctional before the Republicans lose control of the executive branch. I've signed a health directive that orders euthanasia after I start filling diapers. My long-suffering spouse will have had enough fun dealing with the hoots and hijinx of her manic-depressive husband and we won't have anywhere near enough money to pay someone to wipe my butt 24-7. Ate dim sum in Chinatown yesterday with my wife and the Iscariot whom I had avoided since his devastating betrayal last October. The dim sum renewed a critical strategic partnership and took pressure off my wife, who has had to keep him close for a long ten months to maintain the partnership while I kept my distance. Travel has become a heavy manic button since ny mom died in 2006 but Iscariot has already paid for reservations to take my wife to Kyoto in November and the prized destination of Angkor next year. Iscariot is a highly unusual cryptosexual still a virgin at 66; Yesterday I rediscovered my enjoyment of invading his personal space and watching him vibrate in discomfort. We visited a hydroponic supply store to buy a special fluorescent light bulb to illuminate and sustain Iscariot's orchid collection and investigated an adjacent and enormous antique consignment shop in the relatively expensive retail and residential district of Kahala loaded with overpriced "antique" garbage and operated by a friendly imbecile that within eight months will be torn down and replaced by a survival equipment store, a high-end gun shop, an indoor firing range and a $800-per-ounce medical marijuana dispensary that will keep half of Kahala high while wiping out the hydroponic supply store. Oahu's southeast coast is a cruelly competitive market with no room for a bunk consignment antique store the size of a bowling alley. Long before Iscariot's dastardly stunt and before I endured major cardiac surgery we set up a trust to provide for my mother-in-law in case my wife and I met in the Sweet Hereafter together or in rapid sequence and appointed him executor and eventual beneficiary before the spoils went to the nuclear family of my jerkface brother; he relishes the possibility of that responsibility and the rewards it might bring and immediately after my reappearance in his life he resumed announcing his obsessive and quite disturbing plots to bump off me, my wife and my mother in law by what methods and in what order. I always played along and had to correct him yesterday in the necessary order of our departure to his advantage and he revealed that he would be out of the country when it all went down, which led me to suspect the participation of the Hawaiian Syndicate (Yakuza clans who use Hawaii as a midway station between Japan and mainland America) or pro-Kuomintang triads from Chinatown. It's a strange comfort to know how, approximately when, and for what reason I will die. Iscariot apparently still has no idea of the explosive potential of my manic aggression and the spooky physical strength of my wife, whose two oldest uncles are legitimate and prominent members of the Sumiyoshi-kai yakuza clan active in Tokyo. She is relatively short and slim and doesn't work out, but I would bet someone else's big money that she could walk into a gym and effortlessly bench her own weight. My defective brain continues to torture me incessantly with unpleasant memories and unfulfilled aspirations, and has even managed to dig up new and long-suppressed material. I've adopted new strategies to distract myself from the pain or to embrace it and incorporate it into my horror fiction, which has magically re-emerged after twenty years of blinding sunshine and inescapable darkness. That's all for now, to those who have had the patience and interest to read this far. Everybody hang in there until Lefty's next sales pitch. |
