UGH
God I hate being Bipolar - or maybe it is just me and I hate being me sometimes. I am with a man whom I care very deeply about, but there are times when I have mixed emotions about whether or not he is the "best" thing for me. But honestly, who knows what the "best" is for us. He doesn't judge me, nor I him, but there are times when a lack of uncertainty about what he and I have brings me down. Then, on the flip side, I leave him this morning and I start crying as soon as I get in my car - I can't stand to leave and not know when I can feel his arms around me, feel cared for. We don't spend a lot of evenings together, which makes me sad, but on the other side, I have my kids on most nights and that is a positive for me. I just feel bad that I have been crying and bitchy so much around my kids. I try and give myself a break....its been 4 weeks and 2 days since I was discharged from BHS..mental health and treatment hospital. I guess that is not very long after going through a "nervous breakdown" for lack of better words for me to just jump full force back into life. Sometimes I think when I am with Justin, I feel that I can forget about my "mental troubles" and it feels good to just "be". but then he and I have gotten into a couple of upsetting conversations about this and that and it upsets me more than I guess it should. We have been seeing eachother on and off for 6 months, but we have been "steady" together for the past 2 months, so we are bound to have our ups and downs. I know I should focus on me and my health, but I HATE THIS. Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Behaviors - shit - what's the point..... I want to hurt myself again and that is not good, but thoughts get in my mind and I cannot rid myself of them. I suppose going back to work is for the best, but I DON'T WANT TO. I feel like I can begin to concentrate on being a good mom again, and my mental health while I continue to "heal. but if I go back to work I will become a stressed out mess. - I'm not too far from it already. Financially I need to get back. I just widh I could have social Security come through and I could take a break from life stresses.....somehow I don't think that will happen.One day, I feel like I can begin to tackle life, the next day, I feel like I want to curl up and not necessarity die, but withdraw from the world.... This all just sucks.

You are settling for this dude because of the attention. You don\'t need him to make you happy. You need someone who will love and appreciate you! Please be strong
