Silent Running

[Alive again]

I have noticed a difficult season for many here, including myself. It has gotten very quiet around here at times. Could we do our famous check in if you are around thread?

:

I have been wondering if there are those checking the threads, but not feeling up to posting, and I was just wanting to know that all my dear friends are alive and out there! Know that we understand but are missing you and your wisdom! You are all valuable to us!

Checking in... I only got out of bed yesterday twice. Been dealing with a lot of negative thoughts and remembering sad situations that has happened. Today, I did get out of bed, took a shower, went out for some errands and I just got through sweeping and moping the floors. I feel successful. Some thing I have not for over a week. Yeah!

Next...

I've been dealing with a lower back diagnosis where there is no fix. I can't remember if I mentioned that. Didn't need another diagnosis for something that isn't curable and that I can only cope with and it might get worse.

I like winter and darkness but seem to be having a harder time with life lately and don't feel like posting as much.

I feel like I've offended some people here a while ago.

Still waiting for a disability hearing.

I'm growing spiritually and God has greatly increased my spiritual zeal within the last two years which is a miracle.

Thanks for asking. I've used up all my words for the day.

I feel like I'm always in here blabbing. I've found an accountability partner to help me through some issues I'm struggling with.

I actually feel a lot better since I've been diagnosed bp, because for the first time in my life, I'm on the right medicine. I am 47 years old and was only diagnosed in October. I ran from this a long time.

Lately I've been sort of on a high with a few low spots which are not awfully low. I'm getting some creativity back, which is kind of exhilirating to me, seeing as it's been gone for several years. I thought it would never come back. I thought I wouldn't write creatively ever again.

God is blessing me. I was embarrassed to be diagnosed and called bipolar. Now I am free to be who I am and receive the help that I need.

I know there will be lows (and highs), but now I know WHY. And I know how to help combat it and learn coping skills. Knowledge is a great thing, and can help the medicine go down with a spoonful of sugar, so to speak.

I love each one of you already. I look forward to everyone posting in here. Whether you are down, up, or level at the moment, we love you.

This is a place to unload and be yourself and know you will be unconditionally loved.

Alive Again is an awesome person.
