(10,406 posts)June has been rough so far and I feel it isn't going to get any better. Plus I turn 28 in a few weeks and I feel like I haven't done anything with my life so far. I am 2 years from being 30 and no where close to living anything ideal like I wanted

Weather is pretty good. Wind on my cheeks last night is was a pleasure.
I started the training at 28 for the job I loved. Rocked my world
It took time for me to marinate in possibility and practice. You are loved

(37,468 posts)I go up and down every day, but rationally speaking, I'm an 8.
I think the Lithium and Parnate combo is working for me. I see my doc on the 15th. Thanks for asking!

(2,314 posts)I have a digestive problem, and the doctor is making me wait almost a week for results, and that has me pretty angry. I plan to just go there on Monday and ask the medical assistant for some guidance on how to proceed.
Otherwise I'm pretty good.

(13,636 posts)I have been able to do things outside this spring, which is a far cry from last year when I was sliding back into the depths of depression.

(1,352 posts)Three weeks ago, I wouldn't have been taking bets.
I'm glad I'm still here. I'm glad the new meds seem to be helping. I'm proud of myself for admitting how bad it had gotten,
I am still here.

(39,073 posts)... unwilling to inflict my own shit on others, while not suffering too greatly from it.
I'm having some mild sleep issues, but not the sort where I'm running down the street with no shoes and bloody feet in the early hours of the morning.
Current meds are okay and still clearly much better than the alternative of no meds.
I think I have a good grasp of my own mental state but I'm always afraid, because that's frequently the first thing that flies out the window, just before I crash and burn.
My social safety net seems sound.
This post strikes me as a bit Autistic Spectrum. Sorry.

I'm at a one.

(71,155 posts)Work. A kid who is too smart for us but doesn't seem to care about his grades. Dad's getting older and trying to make a plan for handling his eate when he's gone. I know it's small on the grand scheme of things, but wearing me down, nonetheless.

(34,450 posts)And the kid, is this the one who won a school office? Is this a new behavior?

(1,764 posts)Its a beautiful day, the river is flat, and the bbq is hot and ready for the steaks.
Tomorrow I go to a job that I love with coworkers that are dear friends, and come home to a great loving family.
I simply refuse to allow the black hole of lunacy called politics drag me down and overtake the many blessings in my life.
