Check in.

[berry2000]

It's so quiet around here lately. I was wondering if everyone could check in and let us know who's around and how you're doing?

 

[berry2000]

Me, I just got back from an excellent vacation in Florida (I live in California so it was quite a trip) with my mom dad grandma and brother. Work is stressful. Moods are swinging but only mildly. I think my meds are finally working. I'd like to have 3 months straight with only mild fluctuations. That's be cool.

I miss you all!

Hey! I'm chilling before another week of class. I've been very up and down lately but I think that has something to do with my sleep/wake cycle. I haven't been getting very much sleep, which really throws me off.

I just went to the doctor this last Wednesday and he put me on some natural remedies and is looking to see if maybe my bipolar symptoms are being caused by some other underlying problem...

I'm here.
Just layin' low.
I'm doing pretty good.
Hoping it lasts.
Probably won't (Eeyore).
Went to see the Simpson's Movie tonight.
It was funny.
This monologe is boring, isn't it?
I'll quit.
Until next time....

Praise the Lord for youand your wellness!

bipolarbear, present... I usually hang out in the Blessings Exchange, or BE... (Which is why I have such a full closet. I have really been blessed with lots of friends there, and lots of items, and I have found joy in blessing others!) I am having a difficult day today, but my tdoc and I have decided that the reasons of my bad day are not productive for me to talk about, bacause of triggers... so I won't go there... Any way, have a blessed day!

I had a week of insomnia, early morning waking and anxiety. This is a longer string of this than usual. I was hoping it wasn't the anti-depressant pooping out. I seem to be coming out of it now and am very relieved.

My mom will be staying here for a couple nights in a week which I'm not looking forward to.

God is good in good times and bad.

I'm usually gone on weekends so I'm here for the week. I may be away a little more than usual within the next week for I am battling with allergies, a cold, or whatever this thing is that is trying to take my voice along with my energy. The ragweed content is really high around here and there's a lot of people who are having a two week battle with it. It seems like a virus, but the people who have it that I know all have allergies so it's hard t'tell. I reckon the best thing would be to go to the doctor, but as I don't have insurance, I have to just let it run it's course.

Anywho, I'm just glad t'be here with all you wonderful peoples.

God bless!
s and es!!

Hello all, here I am. I had insomnia Friday night which caused for a hard day on Saturday, but I finally managed to get some sleep in Saturday afternoon. Sunday, I felt like a trainwreck, but today I seem to have better energy. Still have some depressing thoughts lingering over my head, but I try to keep them in check.

Need to go shopping, so I better get off of here.

So glad lots of us are still putting around here. Sounds like for the most part everyone is doing ok to well. Praise the Lord for that! Really glad to hear from all of you and find out how you are.

I am still around, just don't post much anymore. My wife has been pretty sick and the Dr's can't seem to find out what is going on with her. It is getting very frustrating and getting us both down. Because she just seems to be getting worse and worse. She has had every test run on her that they can run and everything comes back clear. I am trying to maintain my BP so it don't get out of control but it is not easy, esspecially lately. Today I am really down. I try to stay upbeat because we don't need both of us getting down. Naturally she is depressed and discouraged. Seems all we do is run her to the ER and Dr appointments, and she is just plain tired of hurting all the time.
Please keep us in your prayers. God Bless EVERYONE!!

Hello everyone,
I haven't posted in a while. I've really been struggling this last month. My Mom is celebrating her 80th B-day Oct. 4th and there's a big party planned for her. I've been helping my sisters get ready for it but meanwhile I've stressed out because my inner children aren't agreeing with honoring this woman when their memories were of some very wicked times with her and my brother. Lots of anxiety and decompensation happening. Thank the dear Lord I've got good prayer time established, good church fellowship and my tdoc and I have been in very close contact. I'll be glad when it's over though.
Rushingwind62, I'll be praying for you and your wife. Mysterious health problems can be so very vexing. I'll pray the right, knowledgable health care provider crosses your path and has the answer you need and most importantly the cure. God be with you both.

Thanks everyone for being there, Laridy

I wonder what could be wrong with rushing wind's wife? What are the symptoms, maybe it is psychosomatic?

 

[berry2000]

Sorry to hear about your wife Rushing Winds. That sounds really stressful. Mostly when our spouse is sick we need to really step it up around the house and stuff. Not to mention the stress of not knowing what it is.
Don't forget to do good self care as it sounds like you are. And remember you are in our prayers.
