here I am and I promise to stay!

well it has been ages since i was on here consistently.  Ive given up dates here and there but really havent touched on completly about whats going on.  My friends have all long since disapeared and i am making new ones. I guess ive come along way.  One year ago I was in the hosp going through an episode.  In sept I had lost a job that was near and dear.  I worked at a homeless shelter in their child dev center as an infant teacher.  I landed the job after obtaining my ba degree.  I was stoked.  well need less to say I had an off day and forgot who i was and what i was doing.  I drove off the scene of the job and left a baby unattended.  Things went from bad to worse and i was hospitalized.  I lost my job at the shelter but i was still employed with cracker barrel.  im not sure what came over me.  I just wasnt in my right mind.  I went back into the hosp and was there so long that i didnt call my boss for a week and was let go due to no call no show.  turns out my boss really needed me during thanksgiving.  so yeah, a year ago i lost two jobs and ended up in this residential program .  Ive been here for 9 months now.  Ive done well being here.  I havent had any signs of episodes and have gotten my life back on track.  I worked for a short time.  I'm avidly looking right now because I need to move in about 3-6 months.  i hope things continue to stay stable.  I'm going to try to post everyday again because it made so much of a difference when i was consistent and i had made so many new friends who stood by me.  This time of year is crazy as i seemed to cycle once between sept and feb so i can use all the help i can get.  I'm going to be reading the boards and making new friends daily.  I miss DS!
