Dissociated Thoughts

Guided by prompts from WDC blogging challenges... and of course, life

HI! I'm Jenn - and I'm all over the place (well, at least my mind is). In this blog, I have attempted to gather my thoughts on things prompted/inspired by WDC blogging challenges from "Journalistic Intentions"

, "The Soundtrack of Your Life"

, "Blogging Circle of Friends "

, "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"

and, well, LIFE.

In response to "What Goes Up Must Come Down"

Hey, My heart goes out to you. I can relate. I'm Bipolar also. They diagnosed me as manic-depressive years ago, but it still took years for a diagnosis. I'm doing much better these days, but still have my highs and lows. The combination of Lexapro and Abilify has been the greatest help. I've tried a lot of different medication combos, and I have to say that just adding Abilify has helped me greatly!

My furbabies are everything to me. They're always near. I have two terrier-mix little girls. I wouldn't even want to think of what life would be like without them. They may be dogs, but they're good for hugs, cuddling, and talking to. They've been with me through thick and thin.

You're so right, they are definitely perceptive. They know when you need extra attention, and they know when to keep an eye out for you. They are definitely a blessing from God.

If you ever need to talk or just rant, feel free to write me.

I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks for reading and understanding, it means a lot. And I agree, my fur-boys are definitely gifts from God too!

LeJenD, you're not by yourself. I've battled depression in cycles throughout my life so far. I think in some ways, it's hereditary. As an adult, I have become convinced, that my Mom had undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder. When she was feeling "good," she'd take my brother and me to "the big town" to play all day. When she was feeling "bad," I had my hands full counseling her for hours. Who knew that wasn't a teenager's job?

Poetry has become such a balm for my soul. The depression is still there, but it seems to bring some level of relief when I put my feelings down in a poem. Amazingly enough, some of my best poetry has been written when I was depressed. The Lord has graciously given me the gift of poetry.

BTW, dogs are quite perceptive animals. Mine is lying on the floor near me as I write. I think she's a gift from God, too.

Feel better! Get lots of rest and drink more water than you can stand.

Rainy Day Blues

My dogs are driving me crazy since they can't go outside. It's pouring rain so we're all sheltering in the house from the storm. One of my boys is staring longingly out the window. I'm sure he's wishing he could go out and chase some squirrels. All of those little critters are sheltering somewhere too. Nobody wants to be soaked by the cold rain.

I think the rain and the day are suiting for my mood. Grey and depressing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like the sun to come out though. Things just seem to be dreary around of late and the sun would definitely help to brighten moods. Good thing with the rain though, is that the newly appearing plants and grass are getting plenty of water for their roots to help them grow. Maybe this year my plants and lawn will flourish instead of dying out and drying up like everything did last year. Surely there will be more beauty to follow the dreariness of these darkened rainy days!

I have to remember to focus on the beautiful, the good things in life. Those are the things that keep us going, keep hope in our hearts. And I need all the help I can get to combat this Bipolar depression that I find myself in at the moment. Things will get better; life will become more beautiful and precious again. Once the rain ends, the beauty of Creation can once again unfurl and show its many faces to the world. Till then, I suppose we will all have to wait - longingly, looking out the window.
