I'm annoyingly conscious... yes...
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran

Gonna make it I suppose. My relationship has improved- that's good--- made it all the way through the move and holidays with just a little hypomania... now I've been hanging with the mania... and the drinking is not so good... but I've survived worse! How are you?

Post holiday blues suck... haven't been phased this year though... got all my decorations packed up on Jan first this year (not usual for me... but wanted to start anew I guess- and had some extra energy!)... sucks you aren't sleeping. Ambien didn't work for me so much- I would sleep REALLY restful for a few hours and then be wide awake the rest of the night! Was crazy!

I hope you can get to the place where you can get some resolution about the drinking. I know you go back and forth and it affects you greatly.

hey uppity goodluck with new insurance! Hey bfly
I am not a Dr and therefore are not able to provide medical advice, the opinions I express are mine and based on my experiences and should not be taken as anything other than my opinion.

You awake as if from a nightmare to find yourself standing in front of a blank wall, dazed with no idea as to how you got there.

You feel something in your hand. You look down to see you are holding paint brush, you are confused. Out of the corner of your eye you see a table, on that table is some paint. The colours make you feel happy and safe, you look to the other side, and there is another table with paint. The colours are dark and remind you of your nightmare, a chill runs down your spine at the thought of it.

You look back at the canvas and see something you missed before. Now you understand. you chose a colour, and begin to paint.

Above the wall was written,

Your life

*Youngfilly*

Inspiration i found in the shower a few yrs back :)
