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.
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.
PROMPT September 18th Take us through a day in your life at your job/career. Talk about some of the more important responsibilities you have as well as what your major tasks entail. It’s always interesting to see how others work
My job/career consists of staying home and doing household chores, taking care of animals, and doing whatever I want with all my free time. I think the most important responsibility I have is to live. Then it would be to make sure everyone is fed, watered, and well taken care of - the plants, animals, and humans in the family. After that, it would have to be making sure we live in a relatively clean home, have clean clothes to wear, and clean dishes to eat off of. No great feats for me, no big corporate duties, not even some small clerical duties. Just being home and taking care of those I love. And I think that is probably the most important job of all...
DAY 3331 September 18, 2021 Prompt: Create a story using these words in your entry: Serious, curious, notorious, screams, unreasonable and seasonable. Have fun creating a short story. I read recently that the market for 100 word story is on the increase. This is great practice for us all.
Asner was notorious for knocking knick-knacks off shelves. He would jump onto a shelf and knock Human Mom's strange bobbledy-head thingies onto the floor. Why? Because it was fun and it got Human Mom's attention. His passion started the day he had first been curious about HMs treasures. She had been putting out her seasonal ones that day: witches, skeletons, pumpkins, and ghosts. Asner had heard screams coming from the highest shelf so he had jumped up there to check it out when HM had gone into another room. When he neared a ghost, he heard another scream and the thing lit up. It nearly scared him right out of his fur! He knew what he must do. He pawed at the ghost and its head started moving too. He realized he had to get serious if he wanted to protect HM and the house from these plastic devils. He pawed at it harder this time, swiping the thing onto the floor. There was a small crash. Human Mom came back into the room asking, "What's going on in here?" That's when she saw the bobbedly-head ghost on the floor and Asner on the shelf. He beamed at her with pride. After all, he had just single-pawedly saved her from the evil little weird things. But HM wasn't so happy. She scooped him up and put him out in the cat yard. Asner yowled at the door to get let back inside but HM was being unreasonable and just ignored his pleas. After that, Asner tried again and again to save everyone from the weird things HM seemed to love. Every time, Human Mom would scoop him up in her arms and put him in the cat yard. So Asner decided that anytime he wanted to go outside, he would find one of HM's knick-knack shelves and knock one of the creepy things right off. And it worked, so he has continued to do it ever since.
