There is a poetry thread...
I've been practicing

You cannot change the future because you don't know what it holds until it is here, then it becomes the past, and why worry about the past since you cannot change it.

I am only as strong as those who support me.


Please note that I have lots of opinions and I have no qualms as to letting you know them, whether you agree with me or not is your opinion.

You are not drunk unless you have to hang on while lying on the floor.

Looks like theres more than one Wink

EDIT to add, the one I wrote yesterday that started this just got me to thinking, I would like to share a few that I had, AND have them all in one place for my wife to be able to find.

ATM, I am in limbo. Waiting for disability to kick in. In the meantime, my life is ebbing away. I am wholly dependent on my family for sustenance and therefore I have to live by their rules. I have not had a drink since this past christmas. I don't smoke marijuana, but I couldn't if I wanted to. I can't even go a day without being asked, "did you eat"? I am thankful for the help in managing my illness, but they need to back off. I want my life back.

I lost the love of my life to this effing disease and I'm barely grasping my children who I've not seen in months. This rot, as I like to call it, has eaten my life alive.

Bipolar I w/ Psychotic Features
Mood stabilizers: Lithium 600mg, Lamictal 400mg, Trileptal 1800mg
Anti-psychotic: Geodon 240mg
Anti-anxiety: Klonapin 3mg and as needed.
Added bonus for the shakes: Atenolol 50mg
Sleep aid: Lunesta
Dosages vary depending on severity of symptoms. Thank goodness my meds are decreasing! Woohoo!
