Sending strength and encouragement

hi everyone,


i haven't been able to participate much here as I'm going through a really rough patch with no knowledge of when my situation will improve.  I'm doing all the right things, got a med increase, consulting with therapist and psychiatrist and pharmacy, reaching out to old friends to try and restructure a new support system...and trying to find new friends.


i just wanted to send out positivity here to anyone struggling right now.  ((((Hugs)))) and strength and peace and resilience to everyone.

Thank you so much. I'm in a similar spot and it's awesome to have someone to relate to. Cudos for being so considerate when you're in a rough spot

Hi HoboLady. I have been spending most of my DS time in the PTSD forum. I have received ALLOT more BP therapy than PTSD therapy, but the DS Bi-polar forum tends to cycle too rapidly for my personal therapy needs. I am kinda enjoying the way the newsfeed in the new format lets me keep up with the beeper forum without needing to match its frantic pace. So far, at least. . .

Strength and peace back to you as you continue making your way through the often tedious and frustrating process of pulling out of ". . .a really rough patch." Wouldn't it be nice if we could find road maps and itineraries for that dubious journey?

Gentle support while you work your way through it, especially on the days you can't participate here.

Hi Dino and Arfie,
Yes, arfie, it would be a great thing to have road maps and itineraries for that dubious journey out of the really rough patches of life lived with mental illness, or mental complications as they sometimes feel.

I'm headed into some informational meetings next week to volunteer and start advocating. I'm hoping there is a way I can integrate all the areas of my life so that I can do those things on a more full-time basis..

Thanks for your responses and support.

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
