Grateful Challenge Day 19 and 20- yay for Socks something warm and soft

Bipolar HappensLeave a comment

I am trying to get some of these finished so they are getting merged together. It is already 12/4/18 and these need to be finished.

Did you know you can buy fuzzy socks for cheap at Wal-Mart? You can never have enough. I love them especially when it’s cold and I am ignoring every other responsibility and watching Netflix. They also really work when I am stressed out they help me calm down. Calming down is very difficult most of the time so I will take anything I can to help make it better. My daughter is now obsessed with fuzzy socks too. She loves when we curl up on the couch with fuzzy socks, oversized sweatshirts, and watch a movie we’ve seen 1000 times. What makes you happy?

🖤 Weekly Update 9 🖤

Here it goes:

– I have no diet…. It has completely fallen apart like my moods and everything else around me. The only thing I can say is considered to be losing weight is the fact my anxiety is so bad I’m not hungry and have bubble guts all the time.

-No soda- I had water almost our entire trip (besides orange and cranberry juice. Lemonade, and Gatorade. I have this usual give up when we go on vacation because it is my cheat time, but I didn’t this time. YAY!!!!!

-I have felt so horrible with all the new meds added and then upping my dosage but nothing has changed.

– I am really starting to research hypnotherapy or something like it. All of my dreams follow around the same building and I don’t know why. It has nothing to do with what happened to me or anything else I can remember. This store closed when I was maybe 17.

-We went on vacation and then a day trip this week. I will blame it on that as to why I haven’t posted but it is just because my brain doesn’t work right lately.

-I am trying to make myself write something everyday even if it isn’t important or no way related to my blog.

-I am done with the challenges for awhile after this month. It is too much to keep up with and I feel like it is taking away from the other purposes of this blog. I will however, finish these challenges even if it makes my brain explode.

-I am making a list of mental health related blog topics.

– I am currently obsessed with the game Choices on my phone. It is like my alternate reality. I keep tagging them on Instagram hoping to get a sponsored add.

– If you don’t already please follow my Instagram I update it regularly.

-It is almost the holiday season and with that comes family entertainment which is never a dull moment.

-My dream is to have blogs set up to automatically post. (This is a big dream I will eventually accomplish.)

-I am currently obsessed with The Office and binge watching it on Netflix makes me happy.

-Thank you to everyone who is being patient with me through this time. I have a good content coming soon.

-My book is still where I left it. I want to work on everything but I feel like my brain will explode soon.

Until next week

Grateful Day 13- color (a rainbow)

Bipolar HappensLeave a comment

Why pick one color when you can pick a rainbow. I took this picture when my moods were bad, but it makes me happy. I had a horrible day during the summer when I came home my daughter did everything she could make my happy and when she started I instantly felt worse. So instead I started spray painting for my event and then it started to rain. We needed more spray paint so we jumped in the car and as we were driving the down the road this beautiful rainbow appears. After I saw it I decided to turn back around and go home. When we got here we played in the rain for a good hour before coming in and ate spaghetti o’s. That horrible day turned into an amazing one and who knew it could all start with a rainbow.

Grateful Day 5 – Suicide -a word- it is powerful

Bipolar HappensLeave a comment

I know why would I be grateful about the word suicide but I am. I am grateful for the word suicide because it has taught me so much about myself, my struggles, my courage and how to love someone especially myself.

How does that work? Well in my case I had to try it a bunch of times and it not work for me to realize how much that word impacted so many people. They say we give a word power but do we really give it power? It is powerful in itself because it’s something that we lose power of ourselves to get to this point in our life. We can say the word but being there makes every word powerful. What do you think?

Photo Day – 3 Sometimes you need to improvise your table

Bipolar HappensLeave a comment

The first one is my Halloween production area waiting for trick or treaters (we only have 5). It is an old table I bought on clearance at Target. We never use it for anything else but it came in handy.

The second picture is not really a table but at the moment it worked. You need a place to put your Chinese food while you are working on blog posts you forget to post and/or save. Yep that happens often. The important thing to take from this is sometimes you got to work with what you have around you.

Photo Day 2- Eat me up buttercup – a look at my breakfast!

Bipolar HappensLeave a comment

This again is from the walk. We stopped at Dunkin Donuts and I quickly learned they don’t have a great breakfast options besides donuts. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel without the egg. I can’t eat eggs like that it tears my stomach up every time. The bagel was a little crispy and there were burnt pieces on my hash browns but it was enough to tide me over until we went and ate lunch/dinner. I wouldn’t recommend breakfast there ever.

🖤 Day 30 🖤 Favorite comfort foods

Bipolar HappensLeave a comment

This won’t be a long list because I don’t have many because anxiety keeps me from eating. Chocolate isn’t on top of my list though it is my picture

🖤 Deli meats- I absolutely love deli meats more specifically Italian deli meats. I don’t need bread or anything else. I eat it right out of the bag because why not right?

🖤 Caffeine- I can’t have it anymore but it used to be extremely comforting to snuggle up with a RedBull because it made me feel better.

🖤 Slim Jims and popcorn- Who doesn’t love popcorn and popcorn with a good movie. Some people love sweets but personally love salt and butter.

🖤Peppermint- Helps with anxiety.

This is a short list but it is all I can think of
