Pressing on!

Wednesday, June 02, 2010

Almost a year ago, I got involved with the boards here on SP and had a measure of success. Somewhere along the way, I got lost. Looking back, I see some things I could have done differently but that's neither here nor there. Shoulda, Woulda, and Coulda doesn't exist. I cant change the past but I am taking the necessary steps TODAY to great health (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually). I take FULL responsibility of myself and my actions. So here I am, loving me, right where I am. I AM beautifully and wonderfully made! I CAN DO IT!!!

Quotation.

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

The world has a way of giving what is demanded of it. If you
are frightened and look for failure and poverty, you will get them,
no matter how hard you may try to succeed. Lack of faith in
yourself, in what life will do for you, cuts you off from the good
things of the world. Expect victory and you make victory.-Preston Bradley

Living Lie Fully

Today's Quotation:

Just because your voice reaches halfway around
the world doesn't mean you are wiser than
when it reached only to the end of the bar.-Edward R. Murrow

Today's Meditation:

Bigger is not always better. Having better clothes or a better car doesn't make us better people. Having a whole world of information at our fingertips doesn't make us any wiser at all--it just means that we have access to more information than people used to have access to.

Many of us mistake this information as wisdom. To be wise, though, we can't just know things--we have to understand them, and understand the principles behind them. If we're going to be wise, we can't just share facts and figures--we have to share why's and how's. We must reach a deeper understanding of most things and then share that understanding with others, or else our wisdom will be for naught.

Wisdom isn't using big words--most wisdom is breathtaking in its simplicity. Wisdom isn't having the answer for everything--it's often wiser to allow someone else to find his or her own answers to a problem or dilemma than it can be to solve their problems for them.

These days we're tempted to feel wise because we know more, but quantity doesn't mean quality. What we share can reach much farther through the Internet and the phone lines, but distance doesn't mean as much as depth.

Struggling.

Sunday, May 16, 2010

I started new meds a few days ago for bipolar and now I'm stopping them. They're not making me feel sick or have headaches but I haven't had the energy to exercise and I'm sleeping a lot. On top of that, my eating is out of control. I got on the scale this morning and it read 276.2. I'm debating if I should change my starting weight again and start over from here, today. Anyway, I just wanted to share where I am.

Sabrina honey... one thing I know about folks with bipolar issues is that getting the medications right is vital. Please wait to speak to your doctor before stopping them altogether. They might just need to be "tweeked" a bit. I'm keeping you in my prayers. I love you my friend. I'll support you in whatever you decide. You know yourself better than any of us here do. Love, Dawn Report Inappropriate Comment

Bre, you know yourself and what you need to do. I hope you don't give up on finding the right meds! Report Inappropriate Comment

Hope you'll chat with your Dr. first. I have a close family member that is bipolar and it can be very bad to stop taking these without supervision...it also can be that the emotional ups and downs of the medication adjusting can effect your ability to monitor how you're really doing. This is a terrible, sucky thing to work on and I know from the front seat how frustrating it is, but your overall health is important, and this is part of it. Hope you can work this out soon.

I am meds that cause major intestinal issues. I brought it up to my doctor and she seemed to think that it wasn't the meds. Six months passed and the issues continued and I stopped taking my medicine for a 10 day stretch and sure enough I felt 100% better. I went back to my doctor right away and asked for new medicine. I am currently trying out some different options. We know our own bodies and there are many choices out there, I am sure that they can find something to help you without the frustrating side effects.

that is a common side effect of these kinds of meds. However, sometimes we have to stop and re-evaluate which is most important...our mental health or our number on the scale. You should ALWAYS talk to your doctor before stopping ANY medications! Tell him of your concerns and he may have an alternative medicine to recommend!! After all, you did have to pay him for his advice so, you might as well get your money's worth!!! Good luck!! Report Inappropriate Comment
