I still have my moments, when i forget to take my meds, then i get stubborn. But eventually i take them and i get better. Sometimes its just not having the money to get my meds and sometimes I just don't wanna go get them when I get depressed. My daughters remind me when i start getting out of hand. The remind me in a non-offensive way that I need my meds. that usually works. -

I feel isolated ad I am trying to get better and also learn about myse...

I have moved in with my daugher and four grandkids. This is the best decision I have made in years. Now that I am sober and stronger emotionally, i decided to help my daughter with the children while she goes back to school. She has wanted to be a sign language translator in education.
I told her I will give her two years of my time, I cannot give her money for her education but I can give her wha...1 Recommendation -

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love doesn't mean security and you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts, and presents aren't promises.
You begin to accept your defeats - with your head up and your eyes open - with the grace of a woman (or man), not the grief of a child. You learn to build your r...1 Recommendation -

I spent the day trying to get information on Shirley yesterday. Her surgery was scheduled for 10:30, but she didn't actually have it until 2:30. They kept transferring me all over the place every time I would call. I think I probably talked to someone in every department of the hospital, some more than once. I never did find out how much they had to do.&n...

The Gentler Side of My Wally (By Colleen)
Saturday, November 7, 2009 |
My Wally is a man of many experiences. I love him to death. He has had a real problem with the events lately, especially at Fort Hood, Texas. He was crying and also VERY angry about it. He was prepared to go out and take on the entire Islamic world singlehandedly. It took a lot of prayer and love to calm Wally down. Wally has Marine in his blood. He will never lose it. The USMC is a deep honored ...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

well mum did stay... which turned out to be really good because i needed her help. We had a few really bad gusts of wind on friday night and as a result I lost a 4metre section of my fence... which meant that Izzy had nothing keeping her from wandering the streets and destroying everyone elses garden instead of just mine.
Actually, it really scared me because i was out that night and ...1 Comment -

Another good day at the office so to speak, I did my best, feel okay about my "Step Ten" tonight, came out pretty good all things considered. Still harboring some emotion about this or that but nothing I can't laugh off.
Gratitude List:
1. Glad I still have a job even though I behaved like a drama queen.
2. Helpful people at the bank!
3. I am grateful for spaggetti today!!

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Information
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a term for certain psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful experiences that the person experiences as highly traumatic. [1] These experiences can involve actual or threatened death, serious physical injury, or a threat to physical and/or psychological integrity. It is occasionally called post-traumatic stress reaction to emphasize that it is a routine result of traumatic experience rather than a manifestation of a pre-existing psychological weakness on the part of the patient.
