manic period over, now fighting self to be less depressed but oh so lonely with daughter staying at her father's place and number one awol or just not talking, so much to feel depressed about but mainly the lonliness that follows me like a lost dog is what i need to battle. tchy, scratching achy breaky heart and body and still not sure if i have even a soul or am i so fragmented it escaped? i know not.
love to you all, will accept some sadness and not turn it into anger for i am too tired and sore for anger anymore.
thanks
