It's been a heck of a week

I haven't posted anything in about a week, it's been crazy.

Well, I have.

After feeling myself getting higher than I should, I am back on a mood stabilizer.

Hopefully this one will have better side effects than the Lithium I was on.

I really don't like being Bipolar, I wish I was 'normal'.

If I want to have a successful marriage, and raise my son in a healthy manner, I have to keep tight control on my disease. I was tempted to ride the high for a while, because it was nice being in a good mood, a very good mood for once.

However, I didn't ride it, I saw my doctor ASAP.

I'm a little resentful however, I wish I weren't dealing with this.

So, instead of being resentful, I'll do a little gratitude journaling.

I am grateful for:

1) Salvation (God's grace is amazing)
2) Nick and Michael
3) God's provision (jobs, food, clothing, a warm comfortable home)
4) I have the opportunity to live in a free society
5) The continuing advancement in pharmaceuticals for mood disorders
6) The day program I'm in
7) My family
8) I am strong and healthy enough to run
9) A strong healthy marriage, six years and going strong
10) My church http://www.thecrossroadschurch.ca/ It's a great church that is not being swayed by some of things going on in churches today. It has good solid Bible teaching.

11) Books. :)
