I know we have had some real bad times where we feel we have lost things forever.I know I have.I lost my sense of spontaneity and now things need to be planned.Spontaneity is rare and can be dangerous.
However..

Are there any things that you can say that you've FOUND ?

Some feelings or insights you never had ? Even bad things you may be experiencing for the first time within BP ? Or maybe something life-affirming that you could share so it helps others.

To free myself away from suicidal thoughts was a major step for me.

What are the things you FOUND ?

Seriously, I found strength. I found new strength within myself, I discovered strength within my husband and strength within my marriage. The strengths I found were new strengths I never felt before or experienced before. BP has brought my marriage to a whole new level of commitment. Oh, and I found Pluck! Sorry, I can't be too serious for too long!

I never thought I'd actually end up liking my psych.
It hurts to look back and realise I was too ill to make character judgements but I still DID.
That's tough.Nostalgia but having to remember I was nuttier the more back I go.
YIKES.

I learned that I am intuitive and can trust those instincts. For me therapy was the ultimate investment in myself, both time and money, that has yielded dividends of happiness and a life I would have never found on my own. All I have to do is

I have found that I can act with grace under pressure. I no longer automatically go into "panic mode" when things get dicey. I am learning to trust myself to work through difficult times.

    Would I fall under the Insomnia topic? I can't sleep because of the RLS. As soon as I lay down it acts up. I've been getting about 3 hours of sleep per day for the past month. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Is there anything that helps that creepy crawly tingly feeling in the legs. It's now in my arms too.  Started getting this when doc put me on AntiPsychotics. Found out thats the cause so I...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
