It's my turn for encouragement today. Feeling really miserable and down. Irritable and discouraged. My weekend was not enjoyable either. People's expectations of me are too high. It puts a lot of pressure on me. They don't know that I have bipolar and have to take things at my own pace. I don't tell everyone that I have BP because of the stigma attached. I cried this morning. I really need lots of strength to get through this day. Am trying to do some cleaning so that I don't think too much because that can drive me crazy. Took a quick break to send this post. Sorry for whining on but I just don't feel so good. I'm sure you all will understand. Love to you all.

Hi Charmy,

Sending hugs your way...

Take some time and let it out when you feel the need. Crying helps.
Keeping occupied is good and it distracts you. Remember to breath was well.

Try not to worry about what others expect from you. It does put too much pressure. Just work with your own pace and you will do well.

I hope your day will turn out better. We are here for you.

Hi all my friends! Went to bed earlier than usual last night. Sprayed some lavendar sleep mist on the bed linen and fell asleep quickly. It works for me. I slept for 9 and a half hours. Feeling a bit better today. Volunteerd at the church office again for about 3 hours. When I got home somebody from my church phoned me and gave me some encouragement which I really need. Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi and you all are the best!

Glad to hear you're doing a bit better Charmy.

Oh yes, those different smells can change our moods sometimes. I use scented candles. I haven't burnt one in a while though... Thanks for the reminder. I will take out my candles later :-).

Hope you have a good day today!

Glad you hear you are feeling a little bit better! I don't tell a lot of people either, so I know how stressful it can be to keep it together all the time. Sounds like you are doing a great job managing though. And I'm so happy you got that call from the lady at the church. Isn't it wonderful when the right words show up at just the right time? Keep it up, and if your feeling to horrible, take a "sick" day! No one has to know why. wink

Hi UA and Happy Turtle! I am fine thanks. Just been pretty busy lately. Got some admin done at the church office, visited an old lady who is lonely, busy organising a year end function, cleaned the house and did some laundry, had a meeting with my pastor and now I am taking a break so I can do some posting. Hope you are both keeping well. Thanks for being such caring friends. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Hi UA! Will be thinking of you next weekend when you go to your father's memorial service. Glad you are okay. My husband are going to visit my youngest son and family this weekend. They live 5 hrs away. Haven't seen them in 6 months. Just going to do some relaxing. Will speak to you all on Monday again. I've got some packing to do still. Take care and have a good weekend!
