I wonder that my friend is undiagnosed/untreated bipolar. I have given her subtle hints which she either ignores or else they pass her by. You know, a lot of "I feel that way too" "That happens to me" "This is how I get through the same situation" (she knows my own diagnosis). But she hasn't picked up on it. I wonder, how would she feel if I came right out and told her of my suspicions?

I wonder what the point of worrying is, but do it anyway.

I wonder why I'm stressing about having company this weekend when the focus should be on my DD not the condition of my house. Why does that bother me so much? Knowing my family's prying eyes will be here makes me wanto cancel!

I wonder why my father has decided to come since he has not graced my house since 1998. 2.5 hrs in the car isn't that bad!
Why now?

I myself feel like it's a 'test' when my family comes over. They know of my mental illness and have been of great support. Perhaps then my worry is that it is important for me to prove to them I am making do? That I can get by despite the illness. WHY do I alow this to occupy my thoughts and hence worry about this? I don't feel this way when non-family shows up.

I've wondered why it has taken my father 18 yrs to come see me....& his grandkids.
I know the main reason is Bec he despises my husband.
But I wonder why now? Is it Bec he's feeling like this might be the last opportunity to see me here? He's 78yo.
Is he worried? Or does he just wanto say "I told you so."

I wonder if Support Group will go smoothly tonight. We've a newer member that has shaken things up - and not for the better. It has really taken away from the sense of 'safety' I previously felt. Now all I feel is apprehension.

I wonder if common sense can be taught? I wonder if there are ways to strengthen common sense and what it would take to develop it?

I truly think it is about parenting. I sadly don't believe one can learn it in later years.

Meanwhile... I wonder if my artistic talent will ever return. Medication seems to have wreaked havoc on my ability to create.

I recently changed meds and I started to get creative urges that I hadn't had in years. I now have several things going on, crocheting, beading, adult coloring books. Also some outdoor pursuits. I don't know if it's the change of meds or just feeling better to a point that creativity came back. Why don't you give your art a try? Maybe if you start it will all come back?

I wonder why it is a walk in the park to do someone else's dishes. And your own is hard. Or why it is so hard for me to make my own webpage while I can make them for other people.

Well, I did just that. My first painting was pathetic. But I really enjoyed it. It's been a year, so it does make sense that I have to dust off and remove the cobwebs. The motivation is there, sadly it seems the inspiration needs some tweeking. But you know? I still had some fun!

I have a beautiful 600sq foot studio. Artists would die for the light & 18' ceilings.

I haven't been in it for 3 yrs.
THAT I wonder why, but really don't wanto know the answer for. Not strong enough yet

i wonder.....

why 1 meat only comes from 1 animal (why do we only get pork from a pig, or beif from a cow). why don't we get bief from a pig?. etc

if we eat animals, why don't we help kill them

why do you feel more hydrated after drinking a bottle of cola than a bottle of water, seeing as water is meant to be good for you

what is exactly the point of daylight savings time

what causes diffrent accents of the world, and why don't we just sound the same?

when will their be no more resources left to make money?
Thanks for this!
