Bipolar in the family Support Group

Don't forget. Remember. We have to go through what we have to go through to get what we have to get. Acceptance of life as it is will make us happy, and NOTHING else.

Have a blessed night.

I just found this elsewhere on this forum....

"I'm too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed.

I refuse to be discouraged, to be sad or to cry.

I refuse to be down hearted and here's the reason why:

I have a God who is almighty; who is sovereign and supreme.

I have a God who loves me -- and I am on His team.

He is all wise and powerful; Jesus is His name.

Though everything else is changeable, My God remains the same.

I refuse to be beaten or defeated.

My eyes are on my God.

He has promised to be with me, as through this life I trod.

I am looking past my circumstances, to heaven's throne above.

My prayers have reached the heart of God and I am resting in His love.

I give thanks to Him in everything.

My eyes are on His face.

The battle is His; the victory is mine; He will help me win the race.

I repeat!

I'm too blessed to be stressed!"

I came back to my email to read this and say how much it has helped me on this hard day. I think some days I feel the same emotional roller coaster as the bp member of my home due to his actions, emotions...and you all know the rest. Thanks so much..hugs to all on this day as I'm thinking someone out there may need one as much as I. Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mother's day all. We who live with BP's have a cycle too, it goes with theirs, but is reactionary. Stop reacting and it breaks the cycle. When their negativity has nothing to cling to it is very short lived or it seeks someone else. Let it be!

Itfcrazy, I think I have just evolved into a stress junky as a response to enviromental stimulas. LOL

That's funny, I WAS a stress junkie as a response to MY environmental stimulae. I LOVED feeling sorry for myself! Something amazing happened when I SURRENDERED to the fact that what is....IS.

And YOU helped!

Too funny...we all feel ill as well. Our counselor told me once she wished she could tell me it was me that was crazy but she couldn't and that I must think I'm a very powerful woman since I think I can fix stuff I have no control over. It feels double crazy to think I wish it were me since I ride the coaster as well but I'm slowly learning that trick the kids learn where they put their fingers in their ears and say " la la la la la" until all noise or bs is gone. I'm getting better and better!! You all as well?

Stuck: The mental picture I just got of me standing in the middle of the livingroom with my fingers stuffed in my ears yelling "la la la la la la la" has me ROFLMAO!!! Thanks for that!

Aw Warhorse, I spend most of my days laughing at myself and those around me to keep from crying because you can only sneak in so many showers a day of cry time with 5 kids. The only flip side of that is the kids think it works for them with me and they try to close their eyes when I make them look at me when in trouble. I hope they're not thinking they can make me go away!!! It didn't work for and hubby..lol..Glad to make you laugh with me...anytime. Hang in there! You'll never be alone.
