7. i do worry about her

she gets wrapped so tightly around the axle about things, but i'm the same way when i'm off my meds and i think this latest round was brought on by her going off her meds. they've got her on a new cocktail, including a couple meds i take myself. they work wonderfully for me and i hope they do the same for her.

i've gone off my meds more than once because i've gotten stuck in the 'oh, i'm all better now' mindset, but now i know better than to think that. i've learned my lesson on that front and i hope she has, too.

she sent me a text while i was at work today and i glanced at it, she's pissed at one of her friends about talking to her dad about her needing to be in the hospital (or something like that, i just glanced at it) and i'm wondering how she's going to handle that. i'll talk to her tomorrow when i have a bit of time.

i think one of the most important things is holding on to a positive mindset and not walking around waiting for things to go to shit. i believe you get back what you put out. that's not to say that i walk around ignoring the bad shit and pretending everything is rainbows and puppies, but if all you do is wait for the bad to happen, i think it's more likely to happen.

this is a conversation i often have with my husband, but that's a story for another day.

keep your forward momentum going, change the things you can and let go of the things you can't
