  Hang in there girl.  I am concerned about you today!  Remember what you wrote last night?  I know you are a strong person and a survivor - you'll get through this! Jewels 

  

  I just got caught up on the posts from yesterday - just wanted to say thank you for your encouraging reply last night.  I love you and believe in you as well.  I will do some research before they give me another shot!  this just sucks!!!!!  I hope you have a wonderful day.  Is today the day you have company over, make your lasagna and celebrate your hubby's birthday?  If so, then no matter what you fought about last night, enjoy the time you have with him and friends today - you may never get another chance like today.    I hope you are feeling better!!!!  If there is anything I can do for you please let me know.  My love and prayers go out to you. Jewels 

  

  We finally got water back on last night and then woke up to frozen pipes again today!  I give up! 

  

  

  

  Anyone out there understand bipolar?  What is it?  What are it's symptoms?  How can I best help my friend and her young daughter that have it? Jewels 

  

  I guess I will go be a supportive wife and go to church with hubby.  Will chat with you later.  After church we go to my brothers house for lunch.  I don't know how I will make it through this day.  This is the same sister in law that refused to talk with me - and they have three beautiful girls.  I want a child so bad, just writing this makes me want to bawl and crawl back into bed and not go to church or to familys for lunch.  Necck is hurting today as well.  Have the usual headache.  Oh well.  It's just my life.

  Tama,  how is everything going for you today? Jewels 

  

  Alyssa, 

I just wanted to say welcome back.  We've missed you girl!  I hope all is going well for you.  I am off for awhile - but just wanted to say hi.  Tell Chrissy hi for me! Jewels 

Hi, I am worried about you too.  I read MOMISME's post to you and I think she is waay on track here. 

  

I just went through an awful roller coaster ride DOWN hill fast and I can tell you I was picking out and figuring out in my head how to cause an accident to where it wouldn't look like my fault. All I wanted to do was cause physical pain to take away the emotional pain.  I went to my doctor and they knew right away I was not doing well. They put me in an all day therapy program and it has helped me soo much. I am learning how to shut off that negative self talk and replace it with positive talk. Like I am pretty. I remind myself of how much I have accomplished instead of what I haven't be able to do.  I didn't believe them at first but it is really your choice how you live. You can live in a negative world or you can live in  a positive world. THe two differences is the positive is hard daily work, the negavtive destroys you from the inside out.   

  

Please get help. It sounds to me like you need intensive therapy to get you back on track. Maybe a  mood stabilzer to help you level out and some understanding from your husband that the pain meds you are weaning yourself off is hard work and is like detoxing. You will get past this. I know. My brother went through withdrawls to oxycontin.It wasn't easy but he made it to the end of that road. Have you talked to your doctor about pain patches, fentynol or something like that?  My friend just told me about this today.   

  

I wish you well and am thinking about you.

Hi Vic, I know you are down again.Its hard for us to understand the pain your in .I mean with you handling coming off the pain meds you are expected to have these days that you feel you can't go on.It must be hard to feel such physical pain and try to keep yourself up for your family and friends.I hope your hubby is giving you the support you need to get through this and by the way you speak of him i believe he is.I know you had a fight with him last night i saw where you were looking for someone to talk to i wish i had been here but with me being 2 hours ahead it seems like i can't never be here when you need to talk and that i am sorry for.I just hope others here can see your pain and chip in and help you.That is one of the reasons i started the other board as well for you so that days like that there might just be someone that can relate can help you thru some of this terrible time you are going through.I know people here are kind and they try to be helpful and that is all in good but sometimes there is just times you need someone that can relate to what you are going thru and that i hope for you.I hope i can be here for you Vic.And if ever you need to talk you know where i am.Have a good day and hope your hubby has a good birthday!!

I hate seeing you like this. I really wish I was there to give you big hugs. Please just remember we all love you and want you to be safe. If you aren't able to do that  please get help. Go to the Er, call 911, whatever you have to do to be safe. 

I will say lot's of prayers for you. BIG ((( HUGS))). 

Hope everyone is doing well today. 

Neko......Hope you are doing better today.  What's going on girl?  Did you get signed up yet for school?  I hope you do that soon.  Wouldn't that be a nice change to go to classes and learn something new?  Kisses and Hugs to you sweets!
