ok so here is the deal haven't posted in a while mostly because i was busy with college witch i have taken a break from so i can work on paying off some bills and i have managed to go 2 months without having a major episode or ending up back in the ward witch for me is somewhat unheard of although recently i haven't been sleeping well and i have been under a ton of stress trying to find work and all the other things life entails but on the upside i have managed to obtain health insurance recently witch i hope to put to good use soon to finally get back om meds after going 2 years without(im surprised i have survived this long without them) and as soon as that's done and all my bills are paid off its back to college for me to earn my degree in welding tech so anybody else feel like sharing some achievements of late?

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced.
