About Me
Let's just say I've been Biopolar for a long while and have suffered all the fallout...that would include the High's and the Low's...I've overspent, quit jobs, relationships..."left in a huff" a thousand times...I've cried for days on end thought my life not worth saving...been hospitalized...you know the drill. Now I pay attention...I struggle I'm back in college trying to make a go of all the things I've screwed up....

Hug
Thanks for the reply to my DBT post. Based on what you said, it sounds like DBT will really help me. I am dealing with the loss of a pregnancy and I have some other things going on, and I don't know how to deal with all of the moods and emotions that go along with it.
Hug
MayB!! How are you?! Glad to hear from you.
Yes, I got a lot of beach time in this summer. It's only 5 minutes away. Went to fireworks on the beach and it reminded me of when we went to Peekskill for the fireworks. That was fun.
Nothing new to report. Started the paperwork to get the cats back here. It's taking forever. Going to start looking for a job soon, as soon as I can get off my butt. With the unemployment rate at 15.4 it doesn't look promosing.
How was your summer? Was it relaxing????
