I lost my husband of 30 years my illness was too much for him, but I have gained myself in all of this.

lost my career
lost my ability to stay cool !
friends along the way
oh and i must have committed social suicide in this pokey town about 5 times [cause i'm used to a big city ] ha ha hell mend them !

I have lost lots of money through stupid mistakes. And a job that I loved.

I lost my career which I loved. I could spend days ingrossed in my programming code. Now my concentration is stuffed.

The freedom of feeling good, just of the sake of it. Insteady I'm always checking if I'm not manic.

The ability to stop thinking. Turning off this brain when it's decided to kick into gear.

To just shop without checking if I'm not on a manic shopping spree. I have to leave stuff in the shop discuss with my husband before I go back and buy it. Well big stuff anyway.

I'm always having to walk back up the stairs to check if Ilocked the door or flushed the toilet. Maight have gone into automatic mode and forgotten.

My memory, I want my memory back.

I'm having a no day today.
Means I've taken the day off cause the mania was keeping me awake.

I feel like I'm losing my daughter. She's thirteen, I can't tell if it's her hormones or if I may have passed this along to her. I have failed her.

I've lost my hopes and dreams....faith in myself....lovers.....friends....family.... ability to experience joy.

I lost my violin.It would have been perfect..a little chaplin motif at this juncture.neeee neee ne neee

I LOVE that word...juncture juncture juncture

I lost the part of my memory where I had ability to hang onto mathematical equasions in my head for longer than a few minutes. It is hard to do accounting without it.

i was undiagnosed for so long its hard to say what i lost.

i did lose a job that didnt pay much but gave me some wild cash
i did lose my freedom to enjoy life without having others question me and my abilities
