| Things Are So Much Better

I have been having the most terrible time lately. And I want to tell everyone that I am sorry for always being negative and whining abaut everything.
I think that my problem has been my meds. I have Bi-Polar and I was trying to get myself off of one pill a day on one thing I take. I was doing this eventually to get myself off this particular medication. But evidently I need to take it.
I visited Dr. K, my shrink, she pointed out that I wasn't doing that well. She wants me to continue taking this medication. So it has been a week or so since I have started taking my afternoon pill. Today for the first time, it felt like something inside of me finally clicked into place. I feel 100% better. I am so glad!
Because if it is one thing I need it's a positive attitude to help everyone around me. I don't need to be dragging around in the depths of depression. A lot of people depend on me. I want to be there for them.
Another thing I tried to cut down and then cut out my meds for depression. I think that that had an effect on me too.
Thank God that I am better now. I guess I better try not to cut down on anymore of my meds. No matter how many I am taking.
I got to see my Uncle Billy and Aunt Kathy earlier this week. I hadn't seen them since I was a teenager. This is my only daddy's brother. My only blood length to my daddy. It was so wonderful. We went out to dinner and had a wonderful time, talking of so many different things. We had to lie to my mom and we let her think we were going today, so she couldn't mess it all up.
She never has a kind word to say about my daddy's side of the family. Although they have never had a bad thing to say about her.
But wonder of wonders, she let us out of the house today.
Circumstances earlier in the week permitted us to go visit at their motel room without her knowing about it.
But anyway I am so very happy that I got to see them. He isn't in the best of health, but he looked really good. So did Aunt Kathy.
Craig and I are going to go and see them, sometime later on, after Criag is here. Maybe Darlene can fly up there and spend some time with them.
They live in IL.
wanted me to leave Craig when he found out he was drinking so much. I told him I didn't want him to be mad at me, but that we were getting back together. Kathy said it was my life. It was so funny. He sighed, like he didn't like it. But Aunt Kathy cut him off, not giving him a chance to voice a bad opinion about it. I was so happy.
I think that we will work hard to see each other and see that circumstances never keep us apart again. |

I am happy you got to see your relatives and that everything went so well between all of you. I am also happy that you are doing better and taking you medicine properly. My mother quits taking her medicine (she has bi polar also) she totally drives me crazy. She gets to where she cant do anything herself.

I'm glad you are feeling better. My cousin is a psychologist and she says it's usually better to stay on meds like that because they do not have the same effect sometimes. I wish you good things,
