Being Manic...just rambling...
| Tue, 03-25-2003 - 10:44am |
I love being manic...I really do...I feel strong, and empowered, and beautiful and important...all the opposites of what i feel when i am not manic. This is still confusing to me...even after all this time...and i always always think i won't crash...that i'm BETTER...that this is ME and I am okay again...then inevitably the crash happens...and i know we all go through it...but I LOVE MY MANIA!!!
and that's all i really wanted to say! see, rambling on and on about nothing.
My DH and I are separating. Its a good thing. We are better as friends, than husband and wife...we love each other, but neither one of us are in love with each other...i never used to believe in that...but i do now...he was/is a big trigger of mine, so I feel a sense of relief in this separation, that i never felt before. I was sad, it broke my heart, yes...but only because I tried so damned hard to make it work...i was trying to make something fit, that just did not fit...and i almost killed myself trying...
I'm feeling good today, just wanted to share.
Hugs to everyone,
Keli

You know how proud I am of you for taking the steps in your life that you are making right now. No, they aren't easy ones but they are the necessary ones. Never forget that I'm proud of you!

I never think I am manic,
just that I am better and
that it is who I really am.
It isn't until I start
spinning out of control
that I will finally realize
that I am manic.
I am sorry you and your dh
are seperating. I hope
everything works out for
the best.
Hugs,

Please be prepared to deal with the emotions of it at some point. Make sure you tell friends and your pdoc what is going on so that if you don't see your moods changing someone else will.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't come crashing down afterwards, I just needed to deal with some baggage and I needed someone there to help.
Hugs to you
