I was looking over my old journals the other morning.  Read each one of them starting at the first.  For yall who have been with me the longest it seems I put yall through an emotional rollercoaster.  I threatened to leave the community 2 or 3 times.  Doubted my own thoughts about my disease.  And was in physical and spiritual pain a few times.  At first, I thought all these highs and lows were the result of the disease, But I realized I'd been this way all my life.  It's just this disease has become a focal point of my life and everyday problems are exaggerated by it.  It's all a part of any life.  I thank yall for sticking with me all this time.  Without yall, life would be a bummer.  Why did I use "yall" for this journal?  Maybe it's  my Texas roots showing.  I love YALL!

you have been there for me all the time and i am a nut case so don\'t think for a minute that you are.... we have been on a rollercoaster, together, all of us... i am always a pain, just ask my kids...i am here because others understand what i am going through. i threatened also to leave here because i thought i was all alone at the time when i needed someone the most. boy was i wrong... self pity is something i must learn to get over. thanks for the eye opener. just remember we are all here for you and you for us...our little (huge) family...jaime

There\'s a reason that this place is called Daily Strength - because that\'s what we get here. We\'re all in this together!
