This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.

I wasn't going to tell you this but today I made the decision to leave the personal care home. Only problem is I'm so excited I can't sleep and I have to get up early here to take my meds and eat breakfast.
Caregiver From Hell is on duty and I know she'll complain about me keeping her awake (the living-room where the caregivers sleep is right below the bathroom I share with 4 guys,and I drink a lot of water because my meds make me thirsty,so CFH will be angry with me but I don't care. My own anger toward her and some of the other residents,I handle by just taking what they say and not responding,so I turn my anger inward and have had thoughts of self-harm. It may sound crazy,but I actually think that moving from here to a place of my own will save my life. (I couldn't ever stand up for myself because when I did,not long after I moved in,I was thrown into the hospital.)
This may sound crazy but CFH took the hand soap and my paper towels,which I put in our bathroom because it's been days since the paper towel dispenser was filled. I feel like she is doing stuff like this on purpose. But that's fine,the meaner she gets,the easier it will be to leave.

Quick, before the evil MONday gets here! Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That. Sadly. But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top. I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...


God I wish you all the best!
YAY! YAY!
I'm so very happy for you!!!
:-D
Jumping for joy!!
