    • About Me

      One Day At A Time In AL-Anon. Pg. 7: Someone said something unkind about me. Are my feelings hurt? Yes. Should they be? No. How do I overcome my hurt? By detaching myself, "turning it off", until I can figure out what lies behind it. If it was retaliation for an unkindness I did, let me correct my fault. If not, I have no responsibility in the matter. Should I ignore or challenge? No, I will let it go; least said, soonest mended. Nothing can hurt me unless I allow it to. When I am pained by anything that happens outside of myself, it is not that thing which hurts me, but the way I think and feel about it.

      Today's Reminder: Let me not take to myself, and suffer over, the actions and reactions of other people. Other adult human beings are not my responsibility, no matter how closely their lives may be intertwined with mine. I will not allow myself to be troubled by anyone else; my one problem is to improve my own way of living and looking at life. *Also From One Day At A Time In AL-Anon, pg.7.

    • Moment of Peace

      From callie344 Yesterday

      No, not at all. Why do you ask? Have I done something to make you think that? I've just not been feeling real well lately, got the flu for a few days now, tell me if you see that truck that ran my ass over, LOL.

    • Little Love

      From KimChick Yesterday

      Kimberley.......just keep doing everything right and it will happen.....I hate to sound so sickeningly optimistic, but I think it's just a stage that your body is going through to prepare itself for the big drop or something.....what do I know? I say just hang in there, though. Nothing will happen if you start doing things wrong, though. I do hope that things start happening soon for you to give you some renewed hope, though. Love ya! xoxox

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Have been dx'd BeePee One since age 15. First and only suicide attempt @ age 12.

      Treatments

      Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      This is definitely seeming to be at minimum somewhat helpful. I'm new to it still, but seems like I'm learning WONDERFUL tips to get through those crisis moments. Also helps me to be more available to others. Highly recommended. Used for PTSD episodes, but can also be used during BeePee crisis situations.
      Fish Oil Working / Worked
      Gave up on this. I do think it helped some.
      Geodon Working / Worked
      Works amazingly well. Calm, even moods, just a bit numb emotionally. Will take that over mania ANY day.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Not really sure anymore. Been a long time since I started it. Had mania since, and am now on Geodon. Could probably drop this med.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      Some yes. Very helpful for sleep, and pulled me down from the most insane manic episode ever. BUT--gained 65 pounds on it! Never Again! Geodon now is a savior.
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      Dunno... Still hovering on the depressed side.
    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My Father was flying his Cessna in the mountains with his wife (my step-mother), they hit fog and wind, and crashed into the mountain. Both died on impact. This happened 2 days after I lost my 2 teens to my ex.

      Treatments

      Keeping Busy Working / Worked
      So far I dunno that I've dealt with it much at all. So much happened in such a short time, I think I threw everything collectively on a shelf somewhere in my mind.
