Dee-nah,

((((Hugs)))) The question is why are you so unhappy? I know with bipolar gracing the heart and mind there isn't always a reason. Sometimes there is. Having to take meds for life is no fun, no picnic, and no walk in the park either. Though that is not anything new either. Are you living per say more in your head then in life? What do others see when they think of you? What is the difference in their view versus yours? Is there view legite and is yours really all you are? I would say that you are more then what you may see at times. I think most people are. It is okay to be tired. So rest a bit but never drop the fight. You are worth the fight. Trust in you and see what you want, where you want to go, and what you want to do. Then find a way whether in baby steps or a snail crawl to get there. You can do it.

At times I feel my meds robbed me of my happiness... I have a lot of things to be grateful for and that is what I'm running on right now!

It's seems cancer has shown it's ugly face in my family reminding me how un fair life is at times.

I wish I was more like Eyes but my med changes are not allowing me to be the person I'm striving to me.. My head is all over the place and I can't seem to find where to put it.

((((((((((((Dee-nah)))))))))))))

I know that it isn't even possible for me to know how you feel but it aches me to see the struggles that my 16 year old daughter is going through. I wish I could take it away for her and for you. I guess all I can offer is my love and support by letting you know that I care and to tell you like I do to my daughter everyday that once we find the right med combo things will get better. But that is not all....you both also have to embrace this disorder as you would an enemy that would be tormenting your life. What is that saying "keep your friends close and your enemies even closer"????

Anyway....what I always tell Erin is once you look this beast in the eyes (BP) and let it know that it is not going to take over your life or happiness things might get better. Perhaps I am wrong but attitude has alot to do with facing many hardships in life whether it be BP, cancer, MS, Parkinsons, or anything else that comes our way.

I hope this helps....I certainly don't want to make you feel any worse and so wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all go away for you and my daughter....but we know that just isn't going to happen.

So please accept some ((((HUGS)))) and know that I care.

Love ~ Goody
