Haven't been to therapy in 3 weeks. Have to go this week for sure, I realize I'm losing my sense of direction again. Today was tough, he pecked at me all day trying to get a rise out of me so I'd fight and argue with him. I like to think I've made some progress...because I didn't blow up at him. I just held firm and repetitive. My wonderful book about codependency h... -

Some journaller I am! Barely out of the starting gate & I skip a day. I just couldn't think of anything worth writing down. That led me to think (yes...it happens sometimes!). Why do I believe that what I am thinking must be 'woth' documenting? According to what set of standards? Reading & creative writing are my 'bag'. Many of my profs have told me that I ...

You're Not Alone Tonight"
We all drink to forget
Some of us more than most
When reality gets too real
And the fires of hell to close
But I'm here to let you know that
That you can make it through
If you believe that someone is watchin' over you
And call it an angel
Call it a muse
And call it karma that you've got comin' to you
What's the difference
What's in name

OK so now starts the big experiment. I'm starting the 3rd day since I decided to wean myself off my pills. I'm currently taking half doses. Actually I'm taking a full dose but only in the morning. I'm skipping the evening dose completely.
I'm still doing well, no signs of any depression or mania. This being only the start of the third day I don't how much that says though. ... -

I'm the quiet girl behind that tree
I'll climb to the top and be free
alone with the birds that sing to me
the only ones that listen to me
I close my eyes and fly away
for a moment in time I feel alive
I'll leave all my pain and sadness behind
to blow away with the wind
sometimes I wonder why
I even try to please her
I don't even think she cares
I'm not the important one
