This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
"for in every adult there lurks a child ---- an eternal child, something that is always becoming, is never completed, calls for unceasing care, attention, and education. That is the part of the human personality that wants to develop and become whole." Carl Jung
If we don't pay attention to our inner child, he or she will act out the issue we're avoiding. In other words, we end up with some crisis that finally gets our attention. Sometimes it takes a big crisis like BP to get our attention because we are afraid to face our neglected inner self, that part of us that is innocent, loving, and beautiful. The good news is this: when we do start paying attention, we learn that we are not dead inside. We survived.
While we can't make up for all those years of neglect, starting now we can be kind, thoughtful, patient, protective, wise, and gentle parents to the little child inside.
Today I will be a wise and loving parent to the child who lives in me.

For me, I am going to beat the inner child until it is within a hair of not existing. He has been acting up way too much.

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...
but lets see ppl. who really get to me my husbands family and me
Mental, physical and sexual abuse have a way of caging anyone...Being told day after day while having your bones broken been told by the one person who should ove you that they dont you were a mistake and they can take you out as easily as they brought you in, has a way of wearing you down...When you raise your brother who is 6 years younger than you it tough...When you get kicked out of home at 12 and have worked live out on your own its a tough call...
Im made of tough stubborn stuff...I made it crap and all I made it...Because of that I have a pretty screwed up inner child but I get to be a child again through the eyes of my children...The three things in my life that mean more to me that breathing...
Without the hardship I wouldnt be the person I am, without that sometimes confused scared inner child I would forget who I am and why I am here. I am here because I fought everyday, I am here through sheer determination. I was never rescued by anyone, noone ever thought I was worth saving so I saved myself....
Funny thing is you have to look forward in order to move back;now that's growth! Want to go back again and see through the eyes of a child.So I can behave like an adult;
child like, not childish. My 4 year old niece
overheard a conversation about believing in what you can't see. So she said to her mother,"like God and music?" Out of the mouths of babes!
" Look inside, youll find a deeper love
The kind that only comes from high above
If you ever meet your inner child, dont cry
Tell them everything is gonna be alright "
