Thank you. It is true. I like to say, "What you put out comes back to you multiplied." Maybe she was sick. She is a little odd....I don't know. People just don't trust each other in my neighborhood and they shouldn't here, unfortunately. It's not a very good neighborhood. I met my neighbors friend the other day and told him my whole name. When I asked him his last name he said, "I'm not going to tell you that. You might hack me."

Johnny's battery isn't charging for some reason. He says that he is trading it in for a newer version.

When others blame your mental illness for every emotion you feel - Blog Entry

When I was an adolescent, every time my mother was unhappy about something, my father blamed it on menopause. Being invalidated really depressed her. I am bipolar and reactions from people are a big source of stress for me. I don’t want anybody to know, because they start making all of these assumptions about me. I am trying to be more open about it, but keep suffering more consequences. Everything changes and the person starts reading into everything you say. People need to get past their fear and prejudice. Not all bipolar individuals go out and act crazy, picking fights with people. We aren’t all liars, hypochondriacs, promiscuous, or abusing drugs. But people’s perceptions often blind them from the truth. And when it comes from people close to us it is infuriating.

I commend you on your loyalty and endurance to hang in as long as you did, but what you should really be proud about now is your ability to put your foot down and take control of your life and the future of your family. That is the hardest step, and takes strength.

My first love and I were together off and on for many years. We always got along pretty well, until he became a meth addict. It got pretty bad and he did some really crazy things. He did eventually come out of it and was very sorry for his behavior. He had to make some pretty dramatic changes to get control of his life. He’s living in Korea! Things are great between us and our seventeen-year friendship means we can talk about anything, but we are not a couple. I just can’t think of him that way anymore. Not after everything. And he can’t promise me that he won’t ever do it again. That alone is such a turn-off. But I will always have him in my life. Things will get better, but it will take time. Do what is best for you and it will be good for all.
