MDJunction to me

"There's a special place in my heart for MDJ's Bipolars dealing with Alcoholism support group. As an alcoholic in recovery, it is my safe harbor. I draw strength and hope from our Bipolar alcoholics and addicts who bravely share their experiences and courageously face our common demons. This is a special, close and safe group to explore any alcohol or drug issues. I have made many dear friends and been sustained by the love and acceptance so freely offered." (sarahtroy)

The Cage

Jun 06 2012

Today he left and will be away until the local branch of his job has work for him again. I hope he makes it to SD okay. I hope he takes care of himself out there and the BP doesn't become even more of an issue.

I'm elated to have some time away from him. I feel like a world of shit has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm relaxed, I'm smiling, I'm not walking on eggshells. I don't feel like everything I do is being watched, (Although he's probably reading this.) I feel younger. I feel lighter.

I shared this link of facebook today and mentioned it in lifeishard's post so I wanted to share it. I'm living outside of the cage today which is fitting as my nickname since babyhood is Bird.

Gardening. And maybe shopping for clothes that actually fit? I don't know how to dress this body anymore.
