    Thursday, March 20, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    So last time I wrote a journal entry here was during my second period during class. I talked to Stephen today after class. During the class period I told him I would like to talk to him.

When the room had only one other ...

  • Still Shaky w/ Abstinence

    Sunday, April 6, 2008

    I know what I'm doing is not good for my body? Why haven't I been able to stop? My emotions don't seem to be the culprit. Getting obsessed over the tiniest things seems to be a trigger. Shopping is a trigger. I have to be more aware of negative self talk. It could be as little as "I am taking too long completing this goal". Actually, that's a very common comment I make t...

  • I HATE BEING BIPOLAR

    Sunday, April 27, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    Let me just say that if you get offended easily this probably isn't a journal you should read.
    Today I just ned to cut loose and let some things out.
    I am bipolar for those of you that don't know. I have been bipolar since I was really small.
    I think it started because I was molested/sexually abused as a child.
    Anyways.......for the last 2 weeks I have been cycling (going from one feel...

  • Something is wrong.

    Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    OK this is the third time in a few weeks that I have gotten sick to my stomach. I don't think it's the flu. I went out one night, ate mexican seafood and drank a wine that I have never heard of. I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

  • with my heavy, broken heart... I ask for your prayers.

    Sunday, September 21, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    Why does it all happen at once!?
    It is so very hard to catch my breath when life just continues to send one blow after another.   This last week has been so difficult for my family.  I know many of you will remember that my stepdad was diagnosed with cancer back in March.   Before the diagnosed he appeared very healthy & was planning a trip.  But instead of the tr...

  • my heart

    Tuesday, September 23, 2008

    my heart is resting in my Lords hands. The struggles are too much for me to hold. He greatfuly holds me when I am unable to hold myself.
    Yesterday was the first day that just did not want dialysis. Feelings of wanting to be with the Lord ran through my thoughts, so Him holding me is wonderful.
    With Jamie and Steve both having cancer it is very consuming of my prayers and thoughts. Jamie should know...
