  • I've been scared to death for the last couple of weeks

    Tuesday, March 11, 2008 | An Anxious story

    I feel so badly.  Several people I've reached out to try and talk with me and I have had to ignore them. I haven't ignored anyone because I didn't care,but because I've been very very scared about an upcoming date and a promise I had made to myself.  March 12 would have been my mother's 83rd birthday.  It's also the 4th year since she's been dead.  ...

    Well, I got the news last night.  My son is out of prison.  They gave him 50 bucks, his stuff and a bus ticket to the town he has been paroled to.  His step-sister and her husband have decided to allow him to stay there. 
    Here is the rub.  He is Cian's father.  I do know that his parole officer is not going to allow him to leave the county (on the coast--we are w...

  • Journal Entry for June 9, 2008

    Monday, June 9, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Agggghhhh!
    i just wrote a whole entry and it got deleted with the wrong touch of a button.

    it drives home the point i was making, or th.e general feeling of frustration that i have.
    that things, feelings, life in general is beyond my  control.
    but also that our thoughts create our feelings.
    and feelings create more feelings.
    deep and vague. boggy.
    an...

  • Anxious but positive emotional lessons in life

    Friday, June 27, 2008 | An Anxious story

     Crikey! the title contains more dialogue than the entry!
    There is a saying, if you can't see the forest for the trees
    ....take a step back
    For the first time during my illicit rampant bipolar career :) rather
    than throwing me into the too much pressure too hard basket a friend
    gently assisted me to take that step back which has been instrumental
    in increasing the ach...

    Thursday, July 10, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Monday, October 6, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Well, the property mangaer found us one house with these terms to move in:  $600 security deposit, $365.00 of propane in tank paid up front,  $500 deposit for 1st cat and $300 for each additional=$1,100.00 pet deposit.

  • Terrifying

    Friday, January 9, 2009

    Yesterday I had one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.  And am not sure how much of it was due to my stupidity.
    It was either a med reaction (Neurontin not mixing with allergy meds) OR an accidental overdose (me taking 3x 300 mgs on Neurontin on an empty stomach which has been OK the few times I have done it before now -- but people in the DBSA group last night reminded me of the ...
