I love talking...I tend to work a lot of things out that way. I was whining earlier about the very things that I was blogging about and then I said, "Well, I put myself in that role (of counselor) and I like it so I need to learn how to deal with it". So, problem solved...mostly. It's just that I get frustrated when I'm saying the same thing over and over and doing the same things over and over and getting no results. I guess that's the definition of insanity right? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results...so perhaps I'm insane! ;) It's all good though, it's what I choose and I have to accept that responsibility. Which also helps with my previous PYHO post and the person in my life that I have to "confront"...I have put myself in a certain role there and I allow things to progress a certain way so I have to fix it but this person has to be a part of it too because they have allowed themselves to be put in the opposite role of mine so we have to fix it together! :)
Ok, I just wanted to say all of that! Thanks for reading and staying with me! :) Have a great rest of the week!!!

Sometimes just talking or in this case, writing it out and being able to read it makes the solution easier to see. Glad you were able to work through your 'problem'
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my post. I have found the blogging therapeutic and an occasional vent helps me to not EXPLODE towards those I truly DO LOVE!! I also get so caught up in the stigma and the way the world views bipolar. It is not black and white... there are SO MANY shades of gray... Putting it out there can educate some and let others know they're not alone.
I REALLY appreciated you stating that it's therapeutic and letting me feel a little understood after the previous poster more or less telling me that it doesn't do anyone any good and more or less to "suck it up". Your comment was a comfort. ((HUGS))
I read both you PYHO posts. I'm glad that putting it all out there helped you come to some conclusions about how to resolve it.
I have actually had to tell hubby that I don't need/want him to FIX things for me all the time... Just hold me, let me get it out... It is what it is. I have the same problem with my little sister, though. She is so messed up and I get so wrapped up in trying to fix her problems and so frustrated when she neglects taking care of her own needs... It triggers me into some bad situations... Hubby tries to shield me when she tries to suck me in because he knows how the cycle repeats. *sigh*
Good luck with getting your balance with it. ;D
Thanks ladies!
@Holly--I am currently in nursing school and just took my mental health class. It really opened my eyes to the different diseases and how tough it would be to have one. I know what you mean about your husband though, I have to tell mine the same thing. I don't want to be "fixed" I just want to talk it out or be held!
Thanks, again!! I can already tell I'm gonna love you! LOL! Don't worry, you don't have to "fix" me... What you already have done has helped tremendously!!
I wish medical professionals had symposiums to update them on further research since they were in school that was required of them at least every 5 years... Some were schooled in the 60s & 70s and KNOW IT ALL... ;p
You may have a jump on some you'll be working for. *LOL*
Saddest part is that I'm pretty sure TIM is hubby's #2 son who HAD been pretty supportive in the past but was clueless (as far as I was aware) of the bp status. I think the ANONYMOUS ones on the other post (that I now mostly deleted) are others of his kids... I don't see this as a positive thing... It could get ugly... Now I'm psychic, too... LOL!! I see lengthy therapy sessions in my near future! ;p
((HUGS))
I'm a talker too - and have to talk when I have a problem with something.
I think we are all guilty of being "insane" from time to time!
@Holly--You don't need to be "fixed" anyway, you're awesome. I know that the road won't be easy but I'll be there for ya, as best as I can! I'm just glad that I was able to take that class and have my eyes opened because I used to think that these were easy "fixes". I know that the medical community does have to do some continuing education for licensure every year but I would imagine that it's geared toward whatever specialty you're in. I think that there needs to be more awareness out there and that people need to be a little more open minded...but we all know how that is!!! ;)
@Angie--Thanks!!! I work everything out talking and blogging and I know sometimes it drives my hubby "insane" but we deal! ;)
