NO,I hate the holidays and everything about them. Seeing people happy makes me want to puke because my life is so rotten and miserable. This bottle of cheap vodka and klonopin look more and more appealing.

Nope, I dream that I can be a sociable person but my anxiety and OCD get the best of me.

After the OCD runs me through the mill my bipolar then has a share of my mind.

Even when I drank I didn't go to parties, only because I was always asked to leave, or to stop smoking dope in front of the kids, or the evil eyes would get me. The one remark that would make me laugh is the, "Can't you just have a few beers and stop!"

One of the last parties I went to they had taken our keys away when we arrived. So no one could drive drunk. I broke into the key cabinet and got my keys back. Then I made the mistake of telling someone who I thought was my friend.

He snitched me out, fights broke out, I left alone again. Parties and me just don't mix.

Yes, I'm going to my team's dinner. Guess where my boss chose? My late wife's favourite restraunt in London..what are the odds of that? In her favourite square where we often went. And I won't be drinking. Bugger.

Dobie,

She. No it's booked. I should have paid more attention at the time.

Well I have certain sore spots that I need to go over or I'll become a recluse.

hey, and "Commin' back to me" was the Jefferson Airplane song that made me give up psychadelics. It's playing here now

When I was having panic attacks, I used to hate them. But now that my meds are working and no more panic attacks, I am a little more social (maybe too chatty!!).

    If relapse is so bad why does it feel so good I can’t handle the day So I hide under knives and toilets full of the promise of I’m doing fine I’m great But relapse feels so good So great So unbelievably welcoming Why does something so bad comfort me in this horrible life I’m fine I swear Relapse never felt as good as it did today
