Why wear a ribbon?

  "Because I live surrounded by and within by bipolar" (3Extremes)

MDJunction to me

scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

Not sure if anyone is around, but I need to talk to someone --

Boyfriend just called me. He got approved for his apartment and can move into as soon as July 10th.

Little background -- we currently live together and our lease is up. He has decided that moving apart would be the best thing to do. He still wants to be togehter just live seperate. We need to work on our relationship right now and I need to work on myself. I need to be able to live life for myself and not rely on other people and he thinks this is the best way to do this. I on the other hand don't really agree and I am heart broken over the situation.

I guess now I need to really find a place for me to move and I need to look at buying a new car (my old one died).
