Day 6 of feeling really neutral. I am counting the days now because I am curious to see how long it takes me to fall into an episode since being on the increase in drugs. I can't believe I still feel so good. I am not flying off the handle and I am certainly not depressed right now. Neutral. It's amazing. I feel like I am supposed to feel, how I have dreamt of feeling. I have made short term and long term goals for myself that I feel I could really achieve. The short term has always been to get out of bed and drag myself to the shower. Now, that is no longer a short term goal because I am doing it on my own, without the goal being in place. Next on my list will be a part time job. I need to go back to work, not for the money, but I need to keep myself active and busy. Too much for full time, but part time should be doable right now. Baby steps. I am taking it slowly for a reason. When I push too hard, I fail and fail miserably. So far, I am doing great. I have really enjoyed the past 6 days. I am not waiting around for the other shoe to drop. I feel good. I am only going to live for today. That's the short term goal.

isn't it amazing when you realize how some other people feel ALL THE TIME without even trying???

CP: I am so very happy that you are having good days with obtainable goals. Neutrality is of the good. People who have it everyday do not recognize how very fortunate they are.

I am proud of you for not waiting for the other shoe to drop. That is a major accomplishment and should be rewarded, with perhaps a new truck?!

One day at a time. Those of us who live it have to take it on like a 12 step program.

Ah... just wandered in since I can't get your email link to work...

Let me just sit for a sec to catch my breath...

3 blogs. And you update regularly. I feel like a little shit since I can't seem to keep up with one.

Here's your link for the game.

(I know this is a serious and mature blog and I'll be run out of here soon so I'm just quietly looking around - I won't touch shit - okay!)

Mom - I really do...and if it is only temporary, I am cherishing every moment of it.

Jali - You are welcome here any time. You can touch whatever you want.

Becca - It is an amazing feeling.

Klinde - You read about my truck? Ha. It was a great and uplifting gift. My husband is so proud of me right now and it feels great.
