They can't just pull you over and ticket you if they see you not wearing one.

I don't think there are any right responses really and just holding on and 'being with' is great!<br />I work in mental health. There are a large proportion of women that come to us, get a diagnosis of BiPolar disorder and then disclose childhood rape or familial abuse. There seems to be a correlation between parents who ignore the victim andf their later adjustment problems....Just a thought...Tulpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968312482775965588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573974716280824495.post-22139344129731242312010-05-30T20:22:11.577-07:002010-05-30T20:22:11.577-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.AmyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942876811177095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573974716280824495.post-21956338829947229142010-05-10T22:35:22.836-07:002010-05-10T22:35:22.836-07:00A Nightmare!A Nightmare!Mixed Media/ Altered Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912083222433710916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573974716280824495.post-39958738298598640262010-05-07T09:16:52.516-07:002010-05-07T09:16:52.516-07:00IMing someone directly while hacking into your acc...IMing someone directly while hacking into your account?

I have talked to my fiancee about this in some of my clearer moments and he says that just knowing that i feel bad about it and that i want to stop unloading on him helps. Ive also found that (with the binge drinking) if i tell my fiancee that i think thats where im headed, he can help remind me after a few drinks that maybe i should stop. Not in a controlling way, but just a gentle reminder. I hope you feel better soon and please contact me if you want to talk, I think we have a lot in common (i also have a brother with special needs).

I quit when I moved here because I smoked outside and it's just too dang cold in the winter (20 to 30 below zero is normal!). <br /><br />I don't know why I bought the damn things. I guess because I fell for the seduction of the advertisings. I didn't plan on actually smoking. I guess I just thought they were...pretty...<br /><br />Eh, oh well. I guess it just created another education moment and now my son and I hope something to discuss for the next couple weeks...I don't know how long it will be before he lets it go.

I never had kids because I thought that's what they were... too much of a challenge. ;)<br /><br />I've been drinking quite a bit these last weeks too... and having dark thoughts... and pretending life means something... But in times like this, all gets dark and if a truck had the kindness to run over me I would be quite happy with that. ;)<br /><br />I am medicated too but I am not bipolar, just chronicly depressed, having "mood troubles" as they say. But sometimes the pills are just not enough and I have to put myself in "standby mode", just to be sure I won't be doing something silly while the situation gets back to normal.<br /><br />Like right now after moving, loosing my job, findind a crappy one to replace it, prosecuting my former boss and so on, it becomes too much to cope and I have to regain my balance.<br /><br />Ok... sorry... I am supposed to comment on YOUR post ! lol But I find that writing helps me the most in these times. And occupying my mind with silly things like swap-bot really helps me. ;)<br /><br />I really love to read your blog. It puts things in perspective for me. Take care, dear.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, my man is not much help either !Lucie Le Blanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235850324292915739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573974716280824495.post-90905378890911773832010-04-23T12:22:39.619-07:002010-04-23T12:22:39.619-07:00Hi Teresa - creationsbytee from Swap Bot.
