  • Blue Monday

    Monday, March 31, 2008

    Today started better than expected. I've gradually built this feeling of dread in relation to my work. On one of my good days, the job is fine, a little boring admittedly, but fine. I used to have much more admin work to do and would enjoy loosing myself in my work and there always seemed to be a project going on that I could get involved with. But now, things have died down and all thats lef...

  • I Dream..

    Wednesday, June 11, 2008

    Another dream about my best friend- wakes me.
    Another hard day will be ahead of me. 
    The dreams are so powerful and so intense....
    I Can feel her! She hugs me... We Laugh.
    I Can't believe I can feel her!
    Can Anyone Else See her?
    She laughs outloud at me for thinking such foolish things.
    She laughs at me, because we're best friends
    and there was never a moment with her that didnt ...

  • 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'm angry

    Tuesday, October 7, 2008

    Even on days when my husband isn't being abusive and I can somehow manage to put the affair in the back of my mind I still have a husband who is neglectful, un-compassionate, and un-understanding. He's completely ignoring my cries for help with a hefty roll of the eye and frustrated sigh. I'm bipolar, I can't help it. I really wish I weren't because I'm pretty sure my life...

  • Triggering.. My step father

    Monday, September 1, 2008

    I had a nightmare about this and thought I would share. I dont really bring up my past much as I know alot of peeps here have been through worse. My step father was a very cruel and mean man, but he never did anything sexually to us.. Thank God.. Just physical, mental and very much emotionally. My mother only stopped him once. When he was going to throw a lamp at me when I called the police on hi...
