New name.......same story

I think I jinxed our family by calling 2013 our year so I am changing the name but I will still continue to write about our challenges and successes as we navigate through 2014.

Today is a day that is hard for me whether I am bipolar or not.  My husband lost his uncle two years ago today.  To watch his cousin, Jessie go through that, even from afar was difficult because I love Jessie as if she were my own cousin and with Facebook we have become more and more close over time.  So the interesting thing about my blog is that it just talks about life as I pass through it, as anyone passes through it. Looking back to two years ago, I am going to share my Facebook status from that day.  I had just come home from my sister's wedding in San Diego and it was what should have been a very happy time for us as a family.  It turned sad and heartbreaking quickly. Facebook status 8/11/13: We didn't always plan on driving to  Kensuke  and  Kim 's wedding but a few months ago, I came up with one of my great ideas or as  Dan  calls them my "Lucy ideas". The thing was, and until now only Dan knew this, I felt a very st...

Challenge accepted

I saw this on Facebook and it got me thinking.  How successful am I at doing these things?  Quite honestly, not very successful. 1.  I have nowhere near made peace with my past and the worst part of that is that if I can't, how can I expect others to not judge me my by my past?  I am bipolar (which I have accepted) but before the diagnosis, I was bat shit crazy.  Hell, even quite a few times since the diagnosis, I have lost it and not been in a place of all that much control.  The Christmas season is, by far, the hardest for me and I have made it through that this year successfully so that is a step in the right direction.  I need to find the strength to accept that one bad decision or even a series of bad decisions don't make you bad.  They just make you a person who had made bad decisions on occassion. 2.  While I respect that what other people think of me is none of my business, I am the ultimate people pleaser and really, really do ...

With Great Sadness

It is has been a little over a week since Robin Williams passed away and a lot has been said about it, by many.  I don't really know where to begin in my opinion of what I think or feel about his suicide.  I am torn because I value life so it breaks my heart that he had no strength left to fight his demons but who the hell am I to judge another.  I am not God, I am not a judge nor am I a juror.  I am just a person who lives with my own demons that I certainly hope aren't judged by the whole world someday. I think by talking about my true feelings about his suicide, I am opening myself up to hatred and judgment.  That will have to be okay because your hatred and judgment will be your cross not mine.  I have made peace with my past and my demons and I guess the reality is, I don't care if you can't make peace with my past or my demons.  You have your own past and demons to make peace with.  That's the beauty of life, we are all different yet we ar...
