Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
this morning I am grateful for 3 and 1/2 hrs of good sleep in my lovely warm comfortable bed. It is twenty years old but I still think of it and appreciate is as my 'new bed' ha ha.
As always I am very happy to have a roof over my head in a nice quiet spot in a small village with oil heating installed as I can no longer lift solid fuel for the range.
The plumber is to come today or tomorrow to disconnect the range in my kitchen which I can no longer use as I am unable to lift the fuel needed. It will give me wonderful extra space in my kitchen, perhaps to put in two small comfy armchairs and i can finally get it painted so am very much looking forward to that.
I just had a delicious bowl of oatmeal with blueberries, honey and orange pieces which was yummy and am enjoying a huge mug of hot tea.
I am so pleased with all the progress this week with clearing my house, filling bags for charity with the encouragement of ML for which I am extremely grateful.
it is pelting down sleet and snow outside just now and increased gratitude for being inside in the warmth. I often worry about Heritic at this time, she has been absent for some time now and her wit was always an added boon to our days.
a bg thank you and hugs for the ongoing support here on DS which eases my life enormously.
and oh, the joy and pleasure of an epsom salts bath with essential oils in my immediiate future once the house is warm enough. Yay.
check in and just say hello if you are around.
Please add anything that comes to mind.
thank you in advance.
I am grateful in the extreme for all the support on DS this morning.
Namaste Pema.
Hugs to all.
again - please add.
I am v. grateful that I left the PT and called a couple of people, then ended up visiting TJ's ex girlfriend (we were close friends before they met) whom I haven't seen for about two years. I got there at 2.40pm and did not leave until 7.50pm. Neither of us could believe it was so late. She is going to come for dinner hopefully at the weekend so it is fortuitous that I cooked a vegetarian meal two days ago and froze two portions so all I will have to do is defrost! I am looking forward to this renewed contact. we both lived in the hospital for four months and then travelled the eight hour round trip every weekend for a further few months until the idiot broke up with her!. Also it was interesting to find out that she had the same experience as I had with the 'three stooges' pdocs in our area. v. good to have a confirmation that they are actually idiots and that I was not just in denial so a lot of good affirmations of me today. yay!
I am grateful that an old friend was able to call me a little while ago at about 2am knowing that I would not mind. I love that he knows that I do not ever mind a call at any time day or night if needed. Our talk turned out to be excellent for both of us.
Pema, I hope today has been good to you and that you feel a little better.
Hugs to all.
