The day after

I spent today working on the acceptance phase of my illness. As I said yesterday this journey is FAR from over. Did not make it to the clinic today because I did not get up until 2:30 this afternoon. Holy Shit!

I did manage to drag my lazy ass out of bed, curl my hair and brush my teeth. Yippie! I also called Shannin. It was so good to finally talk with her. She shared with me what to expect on my medication and her experiences with my current pill cocktail. She is a great source of support and she lives here in Vegas so we can meet at some point in the future. Shannin, you rock girl!

I want to thank everybody for your support. It means more to me than you will ever know. I find it somewhat ironic that my support system is from people whom I never met and not my family. Oh well, life goes on. Everybody please take care!

it took me a pretty long time to get used to the support i've been receiving from blogworld vs realworld. its a litte overwhelming. it mad me sad for a while to think that i was getting more support here, then anywhere else. never in my life would i have expected to encounter so many people who go through the same things, it's amazing, really.
oh and btw great blog, and nice to meet u.i'll be back.

How's your day going?

Hey everybody! Thanks for the support

dawn-I am grateful for any support I can get right now. It does not matter what the source is.

mizeeyore-thanks for the encouragement. You are right. I feel like I am not worthy of others. Let's turn it around. They are not worthy of me. They are missing out-their loss! I will do the best I can to move forward. I am struggling with that right now in therapy. I hope you will not mind that I am going to link yours to mine. Is that ok?

pirate-ok today. Did wake up with dizziness and I was lightheaded. I am thinking it may be the depakote. I am still sitting here in my robe.I will have to getdressed soon.

Thanks everybody. Take care!

Shannin is a sweetie, I do hope you get to meet her. I'll be jealous cuz I don't get to...at least not for now.

Most of my support system is from people I don't know too. With the exception of my younger sister, I don't talk much about what I'm going thru. We've never been one of those close families that shares feelings with one another.

I'll take support any way I can get it these days. Blogland is a great place to post because there are so many people out there that can relate. This forum gives mental illness a voice.

Take care!!

awww... you guys... i'm blushing... im really an asshole in real life... the great thing about computers is this nifty little "backspace" button where i can edit myself.. it will be great if technology ever comes up with one of those for real life! ;)
the depakote will definitly make you drowsy and dizzy at first, but it passes in a few days to a week... then you get to start feeling better.. promise! take care!
