  "Bipolar type 2" (katielouise)

MDJunction to me

aTinaL"To me, Mdjunction comes down to motivation. The support and information I have found here motivated me to take a very proactive stance regarding my illness. This led me to find medication and doctors that are giving me my life back.
More important than even the motivation, though, is the friendship I have found at MDJ. I have made some of the best friends of my entire life right here in this group. Even though most of us have never met, it feels as if we have known each other for years.
If Angels walk among us, and I believe that they do, most of them are here at MDJ.

I'm so sorry you've had a bad day ... I know you were concerned yesterday that that might happen.

I'm doing all right. Richard and I just finished listening to the musical, "Cats." We both really enjoy that play!

I hope you'll be able to get some rest tonight and sort of "reset" yourself over the day tomorrow.

By the way -- you don't whine. You talk about what's going on with you, that's all. It's okay.

I am watching Wheel of Fortune waiting for Grace to get into bed so I can get my bath and get into bed. The extra meds are slowing me down, which is good, but making me sleepy too.
My friends call me Dani.

I am looking forward to being off tomorrow. I need it after these past few days. Pdoc said I could come in if I need to, he'll work me in.

I'm sure you could use the rest. You really worked hard over the weekend. I don't know how you do it. Raising a child, working, and taking care of the house. You should pat yourself on the back for managing as well as you do!

I do the best that I can. Sometimes it just doesn't feel like enough.

It's really considerate of your pdoc. to fit you in. Do you think you'll go, or will you just wait to see how you are doing first?

It is all depending on how I feel. I am giving myself until 10:00. I have to get up and get Grace to school but that is all I have to do until it is time to pick her up. So, by 10:00, I feel like I should know if the extra klonopin is. going to work. It usually does the job pretty quickly.

I hope the Klonopin helps you out. Do you have anything that you would enjoy doing with your day off if you are feeling better?

It is suppose to rain all day - storming pretty good right now - so I think a day wrapped in a blanket reading is in store. Hoping I can be still enough to do it. I keep sighing, which is good. My body and mind are starting to relax.
