My son called (hes in the hospital) but I was in the bathroom. I'm hoping he calls again.
I sure hope he gets the help he needs. My sister was supposed to come over today, but it's her and her husbands anniversary so shes coming tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a good day. ![]() Hugs to those struggling. ![]() |

I'm sorry about your sister. I have one of those unreliables, too. It's difficult for me to be as close to her as I'd like to be. Any word from your son? How are you feeling with him away for now?

Yeah my sister does EVERYTHING in her family. Her husband is like a child. He cant even boil hotdogs, lol. So shes really run down catering to them. Her boys are 15 and 17 but they don't do any chores. I wish she would set boundaries with them but it's part of her religion... |

My middle sister came for a chat, it was nice catching up. Haven’t seen her for 2 years.

I'm watching a show about a bipolar man. It's on Amazon Prime. I had a headache earlier but it went away when I took Tylenol. Have the sliding glass door to the balcony open. Refreshing. The sun is going down. I may turn my new lamp on. My internet was supposed to be switched over today but it was working last night so I figured they did it early but then today it wasn't working. Rebooting the modem didn't work so I called Comcast. Turns out my service never got switched from the old address to the new address. So now its fixed. So now this show is pretty cool.

I can't say this for the whole day, but in this moment I am excited to get better in many aspects of my life. It looks like I'll have a new job being a bookkeeper for a local farm, and I'll be able to work from home and take it anywhere I want. So I figure I'll stay here until I save up some, and then I'll GTFO and I bet being sober will be a whole lot easier without knowing two dealers within a ten minute walk, and let's not forget living with a delusional addict.
I've had a lot of emotions today, but I'm starting to think it's just that I'm a very emotional person and mood stabilizers ain't gonna touch those rages and S- thoughts. |

Just joining this thread.
Just got back from taking care of my family member who has cancer. It wasn't his best mood. Sometimes he's hard to handle. And I worry..I don't think he's eating and he's covering it up. He threw away his supper before I could get back from walking the dog and do if for him and he isn't very safe to be walking. It's ok. I'm emotional about him. Things aren't very good.

I don't agree. I've never known anyone as intense as I am off meds, or on the wrong meds. I have heard it all of my life, "You're so intense". This year, for the first time since I was a young child I have found a med cocktail that is keeping me quite stable. There are so very many options these days. But you know how it goes...using street substances or alcohol are not going to bring stability, regardless of whatever else you're doing.

Talked to my son. At first he was saying he was all better and to let him come home without changing his meds. I told him they weren't working for him so if he didn't give other meds a chance he couldn't come hom. He begged and pleaded. Long story short he relented. So hopefully they will find a good combo for him.
I've been able to watch what I want so that's a plus not having him home. But I do miss him. Looking forward to seeing my sister tomorrow... |

My anxiety is through the roof about going back to work face to face. I was embarrassingly manic. Oh dear the shame. The dignity. The loss of face.

I may not be able to read through the earlier posts. Today was mind-blowingly busy. And in addition to my injured neck/back/shoulder, my legs will likely be sore tomorrow given all of the gardening, packing, and lifting I did. Tomorrow will be equally busy. I hope to give myself some moments tomorrow to rest.
In addition to physical work, I have been doing loads of scheduling, ad posting, and other stuff. Honestly, I had not been able to handle all of what I have handled these past four weeks since maybe 11 years ago. Actually, I am doing even more, in some respects. Psychologically, I am OK. I won't say that the stress isn't phasing me, though. My blood pressure is surely a sign. Occasional moments during the day, I also have feelings of mild malaise. |

Watched a doc on Amazon called Up/Down. Kind-of a dopey name for a well-done documentary. The people in the film could be us, I mean they're a group like us.

Another day of mild depression. I guess this is how it's going to be from now on. Again, i miss the euphoria of (hypo)mania but not the bad judgment.
Hugs to all who struggle. ![]() |
