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.
I am in severe pain. like everywhere. I took a bath, Norco and am sitting here with my leg propped up on pillows. I have been in a lot of pain for DAYS now and my dr won't RX pain meds. Luckily I have some leftover Norco. I wish I could go to the ER and get help. They won't help me though and it would only be s temporary fix anyhow. So I am also sitting here thinking about 2015. Good old 2015....
February. Got laid off from a job I had for 13 years. No warning.
Unemployment from Feb until I found a job in billing.
Worked at billing job for six weeks only to be let go because "I didn't have the right experience".
Back on unemployment again.
Worked three months at a temp job and was hoping to get hired permanently. Didn't happen.
Back on unemployment for two weeks and it ran out.
Had no income from November 13th until December 23rd. Thanks be to the Lord that I received assistance through community resources for rent, etc.
There have been four REALLLLLLLY bad years of my life (Very thankful that there haven't been more than that)!!!! One was because of divorce, two when I had cancer. And this one. I am GLAD to see this year end. I PRAY that 2016 will be better. I don't care if I am rich. I just want to make enough to pay my bills and put a little aside for emergencies. Not asking for much. I have a lot of things that I would like to accomplish in 2016:
Start reading the Bible on a regular basis and develop a closer relationship with Jesus.
Become certified in Medical coding and find a job in that field.
Listen more than I talk.
Develop healthier boundaries with family.
Learn how to relax more.
Start making small changes to becoming healthier.
I HAVE to believe that 2016 will be better!!!

Quick, before the evil MONday gets here! Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That. Sadly. But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top. I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
Happy New Year, tc!
