I've felt that I was in the shadows, and I've felt that I WAS the shadow. It's not a bad thing to me, in fact I enjoy it. After all, The Shadow Knows!

I kind of think such morose idea's and fixations come with the bp territory. Do for me, at times, usually heralds an episode.

I use to feel that way all the time when I was younger...Living at home so a long time ago. But then it was a great way to survive if you said nothing and literally lived in the shadows you didnt get hit.
I would love to be able to do that occassionally now but there is no way my husband or kids would give me the chance. I dont go out without my phone but I tend to leave it in the car and when I get back its got 20 missed calls on it and thy are in a panic...
Just a short trip to the shadows would be nice...being the centre of peoples worlds is nice but there is no break

A couple times due to hemmorage....(blood loss)you can feel yourself falling back and it gets darker and then nothing.
The times during depression I felt death was immenent but this time it was falling backwards slowly.Weird huh?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
