i had a GOOD DAY today woo!

i went into town by myself, i know it well so i can follow a particular path and when ive got my car i can manage it coz no punlic transport with all the people looking at me and all squashed up with me.

i was very mse-ey, i got some freebies for my hen do on friday (bricking it but my friends are gonna look after me they promised) and there was a kids shop closing down so i got my mates son a bench t-shirt and some thomas jeans for £1.98

on the way home it was all ruined coz i was following one of them prisoner transport vans, i started getting all scared that if someone saw me today theyd think i was a fraud, then i got all panicky all the way home

Crazy Girl, well done on getting into town and doing all that stuff.

I'm sorry that seeing the prison van made you feel so bad; and I know there's nothing I can say that'll stop that for you (I wish there was).

But focus your thoughts on what you achieved. Lots! More than I'd have managed, that's for sure!:o

I hope your hen do is fun; it's good that your friends are going to look after you.

thanks lame wolf, its funny how much better it feels just to put things down on here, even better when people reply

LameWolf

That's the whole idea.... sometimes just throwing the situation onto the forum and seeing what (helpful) replies you get can help put one's thoughts in order.:o

crazy_girl

yeah it helps not to keep it all inside and i think the anonimity helps too, its hard to say to peoples faces how you are feeling and all your crazy thoughts

Well i been back to the hospital and been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, so here i am in a strange place feel like im drugged up on new medication and i keep slurring my words haha is kinda funny but scary too sorry if i dont write things properly just im struggling to function at the minute

LameWolf

Just take it a step at a time DaneKatie. New meds can take a while to get used to, so be kind to yourself while they kick in.

Yeah thanks lamewolf im just kinda in limbo my head is racing and my body cant follow, if that makes sense nothing seems to at the minute, should be fun my dose is being tripled next week then looking at it being 9 times the dose it is now asap, hopefully get rid of the voices and seeing things.
