Today was a good day. I spoke with Jay the coordinator of the Intensive Out-patient Program for bipolar people. Funny thing is I have to wait two weeks for an interview to get into the two week program. A lot can change and a lot can happen in two weeks. I am currently looking for a new Professional Councilor and I think that I found one, close to home too! I went to lunch with some friends and had a great time. We're going to get together again soon. Since I went into the hospital I have not painted anything. That is until tonight. I painted on my largest canvas, I both don't know how or where to hang it. The fact is that I was able to paint something. I dropped almost all my classes for the semester today. I have one on-line class left, and it is for art. We'll see how that goes. I also still have my incomplete to worry about. Thank goodness I have until September to complete them.I really hope that I get better in these next two weeks so that maybe I wont have to go to the hospital. Because I really fell that this tis something that I can do on my own with good therapist or Professional Councilor whatever they like to be called.Other than all of this I have been pretty good since Monday. I am trying to think differently, thus, act differently.   I think that it is working. I am havin a better time with my mom, she seems more relaxed. and I think that se can see that coming out of me. My brother was supposed to cal tonight and never did. I kept my phone on me and all the house phone were on too.  Last I knew he was in the mountains battling something or what not, but I hope he call soon. He keeps asking my mom for updates on how I am doing while I can right there. All I ask is that he asks these questions through me since they are a privet and sensitive matter to me.It is almost eleven here and I have to go to sleep. So I leave you with a thanks for writing to me, it helps so please keep writing!
