how about a check in?
things around here have seemed awful quiet of late (myself included), i'm wondering how everyone is doing.
we're in a good phase right now. i'm back on meds and am a bit better able to deal with my husband, his mood and attitude have vastly improved. the days are longer and the weather has been glorious for a couple weeks, i know that's helped the both of us. the marriage counselling hasn't happened yet, it's fallen by the wayside with me being busy with work and his improving mood. last time is saw my therapist, she told me she thinks there's a phd student at the university who might be a good fit for us and she's getting me some more info. they do a sliding scale, so that would be helpful.
he still refuses meds or individual counselling, but is in a much better place. the changes i've seen in him would seem small to people who don't understand, but they huge. things aren't necessarily fantastic, but better than they've been for months.
i'm doing well on the meds, although i have noticed that i've been weepier than i have been for a very long time. i'm riding a high right now from my new haircut. i feel a bit silly that a haircut has made me feel so incredible, but who am i to complain?
how's things by all you?
= new reply since forum marked as read
but my baby, although not off to the pricey college that wanted her, is taking care of herself, and executing her plan. she is in therapy, drugs seem to be kicking in. she is planning to take some time out to apprentice with a tattoo artist. she has been doing a lot of drawing and such for therapy, and it has been coming out as ideas for tattoos. i think it is a great thing, as it will be a great part time job to get her through college, and get her where she can support herself.
i am doing well, and so hyped for spring. also getting a new puppy. how much more therapeutic does it get than that?
glad to here you are in a good place.
I'm not eating right or exercising..
work is a hot mess..
home life is cluttered.. but there is love at home and with my family..
so all is good , enough..
glad to hear there is love. when you can feel that, you have something to hang on to.
take care of that body, tho.
we're lucky to have love in our lives, it makes such a difference
an emotional eater, so I'm always eating! I am exercising a bit more, but my sleep is still not great.
The kids are not sleeping well either, and I think I have traced it back to the fact that we all went off our Vitamin D supplements over the winter. Going to start those back up this weekend!
(Anyone who has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, have your D levels checked. I never knew until recently that there is a definite correlation between healthy levels of D and good sleep, although it makes sense. Seems like playing outside as a kid always led to a better night's sleep. )
And now a HUGE HUG 
to everyone on this thread. Good to see you all!!
Job is going okay. I have a nice place to live and a loving wife. We have decided to try to have a baby once I get health insurance from work. I'm going back to school starting this summer to finish my degree. Hopefully that will lead to a better financial future for us, but it's going to take a while going part time. Maybe about 3 years.
My head is in good shape. Now if I can get my ass to follow I'll be excellent. My wife wants to get a treadmill. We'll see.
you deserve all the happiness in the world. good luck on all fronts
I do not rapid cycle, but my daughter does. I know how emotionally exhausting it is. Take care.
i'm sorry you're struggling with it right now.
go out, putter among your flowers and watch the world come alive. spring is a wonderful time.
I am trying harder to concentrate on the positive. The blooming of spring flowers and the planting of the vegetable garden reminds me of the promise of better things.
