Nice quiet night at home. I did not get out of my pajamas all day. Great way to spend the last day of the year. Hope everyone has a happy new year.

I was getting ready to go out before the party and I was called to come quickly to the mall because my mom had fallen down the escalator and an ambulance was called. She has a concussion, 2 broke ribs and a broken ankle. I’m really grateful to still have my mom.

I hope everyone has a happy, peaceful new year and that 2019 is your best year yet. Make sure to tell your loved ones often how much you care.

Been fighting a cold for over two weeks now. I can feel my mood going down hill now that Christmas is over. I am currently in IOP to help from being too depressed this winter. I hope everyone had a good new year's eve yesterday. I stayed in. Didn't even watch the ball fall this year. Didn't wake up until after. January and February are hard months for me. I am trying to stay more positive this year but we will see how long that lasts.

Oh, wow. I cannot imagine just how painful your mom's injuries must be!
I am sure you will continue to be there for your mom. I hope she heals quickly.

Love and Prayers for you and yours,

It is getting as cold as a witch’s tit here. We are going to down below freezing. They are even predicting our one out of every ten or fifteen year snow fall. Today is my birthday. I am already old enough. Now I have one more year to add to my age.

I hope your mom has a speedy recovery. That sounds so painful. How scary that must have been.

Got 4 hours of sleep, much better than nothing. Feeling good today, will be hanging out with my friend later.

I'm hoping to have a good year. I know there will be ups and downs but I plan on trying to be more mindful of things by keeping a mood chart, asking for help when I need it (I have a serious problem with this, I let episodes go on so long and tell nobody, pretend I'm fine then it gets completely out of control eventually). I'd like to make wiser decisions such as trying to keep myself on a routine and not doing things that exasperate mania if and when it occurs, like drinking tons of coffee and exercising for hours, etc. My mental health has completely crumbled over the past maybe 6 months after getting off the AP I was on last year. It shocked me because I did so well for a very long time, virtually no symptoms.

I'm just relaxing and listening to music right now

I feel inadequate and not up to the task of taking care of two unwell people (more unwell than usual)...one who needs to be IP badly and one who can not even sit up to eat or drink or make it to the bathroom. I’ve discussed this at length with my sister and I am going to work this week on getting my brother to go IP and look into my mother going to a rehabilitation center where they would be better able to care for her. I can’t risk pneumonia and she is not doing her breathing exercises as prescribed.

Not easy decisions and lots of guilt and berating of self involved.

We made it through the holiday season gang! Here’s to hoping 2019 is going to be amazing.

Physically ill (stomach bug of some kind), which is keeping me stuck in bed and not working on my research paper. Doesn't help my mood when I keep having to delay it. Holding out for a break in the proverbial clouds!

You are in a very tough situation.
This would be too much for anyone.
You are trying to do what's best for everyone involved.

My heart goes out to you.

Hi there. I feel okay. I'm a little more hopeful than I was a few days ago. I'm dealing with headaches almost everyday, but I'm functioning the best I can.

Happy New Year!

Had FUN last night at home.

Today is a rough one. It's so dark here today, the street lights are staying on all day long.

I ache all over, likely weather-related.

Planning my medical (and psych care) and am very discouraged by the $3500.00 deductible. We'd had lots of medical/dental/psych bills in 2018.
This deductible every year is contributing to major problems. I can no longer afford getting the care at the frequency I usually need to do so. Stressful.

Many of us have this or similar issues.

I hope others are enjoying the day!

Love to All!

WC
