The people around us care so much sometimes it can seem suffocating. They mean well,they just need us to communicate what we "need" and what we dont "need" them to say and do. You know yourself and you know what you need and what you are ready for. Listen to your heart, evaluate where you are, and decide what you can handle and what you can do. If you do it and it doesnt work out, so be it. If it works out, yippeeeeee. We just keep moving on and forward and hope and pray things work out for us. Hugs

It is also important that you dont make rash decisions if you think you are manic or high in your emotions. Make important decisions when you are balanced. If you are close to your mom, she may see things that you dont. Talk to her about it and ask her what she sees, what she feels. Hugs

I get really frustrated with everyone telling me all the right things I should be doing, that I'm totally aware of and WOULD do them, if I could! They don't understand why I can't. It's a daily frustration for me, probably most of us.

    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...
