Thank you userANONYMOUS...
Just called his Mom and found out he was sent to jail two days ago for a violation of parole on something that happened way before I knew him. I'm upset. Been trying to call him. No wonder he doesn't...
I did it again. Broke up with my boyfriend. This is the 6th time. I feel loss and grief and raw pain. I text him after 2days...have not seen him in a week...no text back. Can't blame him. It's what I...
Been in 4 relationships with bipolar men and I'm bipolar. The first three ended in divorce. Now dating another bipolar man. Much drama...much love and deep caring. We met in the psyche ward and have...
I'm a runaway wife and now runaway girlfriend, (broken up with boyfriend 5 times only to get back together days later.) I too have been married three times unsuccessfully. I've always picked...
I also agree with counseling for yourself...at least 6 sessions with a different one than you went to. Also CODA which is co-dependents anonymous has been very helpful for me to deal with unhealthy...
Why?...
I learned somewhere that if anything goes on that is further out than my nose..then it is none of my business. Usually stirring up a hornets nest either involves something I did, in which case,...
Wheeeeerrrrreeee arrrrrrre you!!!?...
Sending out pink clouds of love and healing channelled from the angels and the Goddess...not from me...so you know it is pure!...
If I ever start face book up again I would like to be your friend!...
I just found the closest British Embassy and called them but they are closed for the day. We live in Vegas and LA is a 4 1/2 drive away. But I texted her the consulate's phone number for her to call...
I have a 23 year old British friend. She came here 8 months ago to live with her Mother and sister after a terrible suicidal attempt in Liverpool. She has been trying to stay sober but is having a...
When the tension gets bad...go out for a walk...as soon as you feel it coming on. Perhaps, even set up some things that you 'must do' every day to get out of the house. Like therapy, errands, a...
Hey Tortoise, instead of throwing your art away, why not donate it to the local mental health hospital? But shoot if I could do that, I'd be contacting galleries. Then you could get paid to do what...
You guys don't want to miss this incredible artwork that Tortoise posted under 'fragile'thread. Go to her last response. Utterly amazing work! [mod edit: Link to 'fragile' thread:...
Oh my goodness, golly, gosh in heaven! Your artwork is amazing! Most artists I know can't draw at all. Don't you dare give that up. I am so impressed I feel overwhelmed with the magnitude of your...
I also like to draw. Don't give up on illustrating! Even if you just color with your son! I truly believe we should not give up our creative outlets, as for me, it has given me greater self-esteem. I...
It takes great courage and faith to leave. I had to do it twice with two different abusive husbands. One of my exes still tries to shame and control me. He is still sick. My first ex and I are...
Ps. Another thing we did was ride bikes to the library. Or you could just drive there. Children's books are great for adults too...pick some out that appeal to your sence of childhood fantasy. Then...
When my boys were little we lived at parks. It was good for me to walk barefoot in the grass to get grounded. I could watch them play from a park bench. I could push them in the swings. We explored...
Went to a coffee house with a friend and read my poetry to a crowd of about 30 people. And they loved it! I have never done this before. I was nervous. All my poems were on shreds of paper so I...
Couldn't have said it any better Illmisscat. Wish someone had told me that years ago. Every word is true. I have never seen my high school so-called friends again. Nor do I want to. And the whole...
Relationship stress and emotional stress in general cause the body to react in a number of ways. Have you read the book...Heal Your Life, by Louise Hay? It is a classic and gives the emotional reason...
Deep sigh, Ilmsct...your words have covered me in a warm vanilla sauce and I feel wrapped in a cocoon of sanity. Thanks for talking to me. I am feeling like a fish just caught, facing death, then...
Hypo-manic again. Energy levels prepared for take-off. Then recover about three days where I can't do much of anything. Not so much moods..but energetic swings. Is this bipolar? Full moon? Over...
Oh btw...if any of you have been in a 12 step program...I just finished my 4th step. This is when I look at my part in every resentment I have toward anyone in my life and this goes back to...
I was prescribed Etodolac, an anti-inflammatory for my torn rotater cuff. I took it along with regular meds plus a slew of vitamins. Started driving to library and street lights looked like suns with...
I like to walk and hike, Bill...but nothing like you do. I was forced into exercize and sports at a very young age and though I excelled at them...a tennis racquet makes me want to vomit today. So I...
Yay Caren! I just prayed too, but I know that sometimes what I want isn't what is always best for me. God is a mystery, life is a mystery, I think some of us may have bipolar to help others, and to...
Thanks for reminding me to smile today! I too slept very little and am planning a nap this afternoon. My sleep cycles are inconsistant...so I am just going with the flow for today. I also forget to...
Menlosa, This is a forum for support and encouragement. YOU do not sound very stable, but horridly judgmental and angry. Suggestion 1: use 'I' words instead of 'you' this and 'you' that. Also...
Just be careful about telling your employer. I have seen it backfire on people....
Not a whole lot of difference in my opinion between mania and hypo-mania....
I don't fight sleep anymore. I sleep when I am tired and do other things when I am not, no matter what time it is. However, if I was working this could be a major problem. I wish you balance and calm...
He went to Pdoc and cried in desperation for help...is now in outpatient rehab and doing much better. Thanks to everyone. I am very tired. I am taking it easy, meditating, and healing my energy field...
Are you over 18?...
So I cut my ten day trip short for my son's graduation because my addict husband fell down the steps and injured his neck and needed me. He has no lisence as to a DUI over marijuana. But he managed...
I flew to Annapolis where my oldest son graduated from the Naval Academy! I only got to spend one night but I made it to the ceremony this morning. I was so happy to be able to share this day with...
I have found that having friends...even making new friends helps me alot. I have been travelling and have talked to many nice people in the airport.I spoke to a 92 year old lady, a woman from KY, a...
I hope things go well for you and that you find some peace in your decision....
My husband and I are going to try to get disability. We are breaking into pieces trying to make it like normal people in the world.He has bipolar 1, three heart attacks, a herniated disk, torn...
Bill wrote, "Write on the bandaid what will heal one of your hurts. " Bill, how do I know what will heal the hurts? I am going to do this tomorrow, but how? Can you give me an example? Say for...
Bill...what ways have you used to release the inner pain? I need all the help I can get! I feel unloved today, and boring, and I have re- injured my rotater cuff, so I hurt. Does anyone like me or am...
I just phoned my Mother. She lives in a beautiful mountain cabin. She is now feeding the squirrels and two of them eat the peanuts out of her hand! She also feeds the wild birds and has a dog. She is...
A deep way to forgive others is to write out my resentments over things THEY did to me. Then I look at MY part in it. There is always a MY part...even when it seems I am only a victim. In that case,...
I had to learn about the cycle of emotional abuse and control tactics. They are all fact. I too had to leave two emotionally and physically abusive situations. I literally began to believe my abuser...
2 Hawaii...I love the tool kit. I would like to get a tiny tool kit and put phone numbers in it, my meds, reminders to shower, exercize and eat well, my Pdoc. phone no., scripts, a pretty postcard, a...
Maybe you are here not to seek solutions but merely to "Bemoan" ...to express grief, remorse and dissatisfaction with your life. Some people actually enjoy their sadness. You have been given plenty...
Bill, you are a goalpost for me. You demonstrate compassion for all people whether foe or friend. This must be due to your Buddhist mind and meditation. Anger in the heart only burns ourselves. If...
