Okay, Today I woke and seem tobe still in a baseline phase. It may stay it may not. I have days well not all day that I crazy because I feel helpless. That my husband does not deserve this crap. He has a child from his frist wife that requires when she is home consent care all the time. Some one has to tell her when to eat, when to shower, to put on deorent. shoes,socks..I mean she is like a small child and she will always be like that. She is 14. My frist husband died 6 yrs ago and left me with a 9 and 10 yr old. I began to drink to cope. I am 2 yrs sober with the help of AA and my HP. I have been trying my best to put frist things frist.
My daughter who was 10 when her father died is now 16 (OMG) and thinks she maybe pregant. Her and the now ex are making me nutter than normal. I keep thinking how could I help her take care of a child when most days I feel like I can't care for my self.
My 9 yrs old is now 15. And mind you these kids will be 17,16 and 15 is Sept.(17). Oct.(15) and Dec (16). He has ADHD and anger Issuse.I have a lot on my plate.
I live on a 5 acre farm. It is hard engough to take care of the food I am growing, the goats, ducks, chickins, geese, and soon to be 2 cows.
No things will not always be easy. Even if I did not have bipolar. I don't need anyone to remind me that there realy are hills and vallays in all our life. But when I wake each day. The frist thought I have is let me check my blood suger and get out side. My diabetes has become the frist thought of each waking day. And at most times it is the thought at the for thought of every thing. When I am checking on the goats,walking the fence line, chacing the ducks back to the pond area. Not that I am bipolar and that is me for the rest of my life.
I have other things to worrie about. I am not a spender. I drive for hrs I hate to spend money. My husband braged about that one time, LOL.
I am not a sexer either. I clean the house from top to bottom. I have even went out side before and took a tooth brush and cleaned the out side of the house. (maybe a little crazy huh?)
I guess I have made a new life around the bipolar part of my life.
I was raise in a rough house. I became at times a rough preson to love and deal with. I am who I am. I am a very sentive preson. I don't know where that came from. But it is who I am. Sometimes I want to stand up and fight, and others I leave and am not seen for days.
I am sorry if my words are mispelled. I am a high school drop out. And no I don't care to get a GED or go back to school. I have my fram and I am happy growing my own food. I will say this now.
I AM TRUELY SORRY IF I HURT ANY ONES FEELINGS WITH THIS POST. LIKE I TOLD A FRIEND ::: THIS IS WHO I AM THE SOFT AND LOVING PART AND THE TOUGH HARD PART. You can take me for who I am or you can leave it. This is me. Thank you for reading my post!!!!!
