Well well well... here it is...

Tizzy.. I'm sorry your having a rough day.. you know I'm like you in that I often want to hide this fact from my family and friends so they won't worry... you are probably feeling overwhelmed given the many things you have on your plate..

Maybe if you take a mini break and have a relaxing bath and put on some music you may feel a little better.. reduce your stress for awhile and your odd feeling may subside...

((hugs))

Hi, I know what it's like to become overwhelmed. Everything's going along and all of a sudden it hits you like a mack truck. Just wait it out and it will all work itself out in time.

Nothing lasts forever, even the bad parts.

You sound very very busy and extremely smart to be getting your masters, juggling a marriage and potentially a pregnancy? You should be so proud of yourself. Try to look at your successes and see hte big picture when all of this little stuff hits you hard.

Tizzy-
I'm sorry you are overwhelmed right now. You certainly do have a lot on your plate. I agree that if you can take a minibreak, it would help immensely. Even if its just a cup of coffee or tea. Can you at least turn on some soothing music to study by? Just be easy on yourself. It will get better.Love and hugs, Hope

Hey Tizzy I'm totally with you when it comes to needing support. You are not alone. I agree to do something nice for yourself by taking a mini break. I hope this helps... I'm not really in much of a good space right now.

Pretending you are doing just fine to "spare" others doesn't work - the people who love you can tell when you are not doing well, and it hurts when they are not invited in to care for you. It just makes everyone feel all that more isolated, and you feel worse in the long run. Ask for help and support, and graciously accept unsolicited offers of same. BTW, you are not Superwoman, and even SHE had her weakness.

I sent you a hug!

I'm really sorry that you feel everything wearing down on you. Frankly, the fact that you have pushed so far in school is very admirable and I know you can keep going!

Just try to enjoy yourself as much as you can. It seems you have people in your life that love you very much, and ultimately when you work at it and keep plugging away everything you want to come to fruition will. Relax a bit if you can :)

Listen to Bob Marley if he strikes a chord with you :) Go give your loved ones a kiss. It always makes me feel better. You are obviously an amazingly talented and intelligent person!!! You can get through it. I have infinite faith in you! Yaaaaaaay Tizzy!

I'm in your corner.

To re-use my favorite quote from Winston Churchill, the famous bipolar leader of Great Britain in World War II:

"When you're going through Hell, keep going."

Hi Tizzy,

Music helps me too, anything by this group.

you need the inside to feel right first off. can you stop the pills that are affecting your meds? i agree, it sounds like you have too much on your plate and need some calming time.

WOW i can not tell you what it is like to come back to this site and see how many people poured out there love on me. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! It brought me to tears. I will take a mini break tonight. I'm going to go for a walk and deliver my Avon brochures and get some fresh air with the family. i think that will make me feel better and combine a couple of things together so i can maybe get more done at one time.

Sometimes I feel like such a failure and freak being BP and feeling all the time. It was so good to have some of you recognize all that I'm doing and I thank you SO MUCH for recognizing me.

Oh and the hugs! WOW 7 hugs! I needed that. THANK YOU!

Hugs for you. I hope things get less stressful for you soon. xx

Indulgence is my favorite word today. It always means something different but it's giving something to yourself.
