Happy news! I got discharged today! Yea!
I'll be trying to drift into normalcy in the least stressful way possible. I'm exhausted, so I didn't stress about the articles due today. Intead, I told my one client that I'm going back to work tomorrow. Considering that I have not missed many days even when going to the program, I'm sure he'll be fine with it. He loves me. LOL For my other client that I am writing for at the moment, I did my work yesterday. (That client pays more. LOL)

I am looking forward to checking in with you guys more frequently. Take care!

Great news!
Hang in there honey.

We got visited with serious cold temps.I don't mind it so much because it encourages the hibernation lifestyle, but it's hard on the dog; he's 15 and can't stay out long before he's hobbling pretty bad. But for 15 he's still pretty active and likes to go outside. It think it'll ease off in a few days.

Wife passed her citizenship test. Takes the official oath next week. It's definitely cause for celebration but it means a long journey to the Big City which I'm not at all looking forward to. Have to postpone the deep hibernation, but it's also just in time for winter.
 
hibernation.. love it. love it too much. That's basically why I had to go into the treatment program. Hibernation is dreamy and safe. Isolation is a bad word if you have mental health issues. It took me a long time to accept that perhaps isolation is not a great thing. I like being alone. I am alone, but not lonely. However, I guess when it gets to the point that the isolation + PTSD & bipolar disorder symptoms means that you are ignoring phone calls, saying no to all social invites, and afraid to check your mail, the isolation needs to be addressed.

I have always viewed hibernation as idyllic.

Yeah, I've been told I'm not as outgoing as I was. I guess when the basics are at hand you get comfortable? Or maybe just a matter of getting a little older? Appreciate the home life more than the fast life of yore? Internet? Or just gearing up for one big final splash like the character in The Wrestler? I could kinda relate to that movie, the lead character, and it was the kind of movie I didn't think I'd like too much but did, which is always the best.

Wel I'm the same on three of those I love my own company far more than anyone elses a fact Ron finds it hard to deal with, you would think I had gone into outer space when I come up here on my computer ....... I'm still in the house ain't I ffs!!
 
Not sure if being on the computer is hibernation.
More like being in a cocoon
(and whether or not you emerge as a butterfly is another matter).

It's funny how getting too comfortable can make other things uncomfortable. Why is it that if you shut yourself in, you tend to develop anxiety about being in public? Why should the comfort level of being outside change so much just because you're enjoying you comfort zone? I'm not sure how much of the public anxiety is related to my bipolar disorder & PTSD. I know at least some of it is.

I spoke to my bf last night and the night before. I'm not sure if I told you that he is overseas right now. (military) I can't wait for him to get back. Even just talking to him helps me center myself. I feel a sense of calm and security wash over me when we talk. I think as someone who has bipolar disorder, his stability and strength helps anchor me. But, I wonder, if he was to be here and I continued to isolate, though isolating with him instead of alone like I tend to do now, would I still have the same effects. Not that I'm planning on doing so. I am working on being more social.
 
Have just got in from being very sociable! Told I was in fine voice singing Christmas carols drowned out everyone else anyway! Only thing is I am drained now used up all my reserves and got some very funny looks from people because I said I was tired because of me being ill in May one even said 'yeah but surely you are over that now' but I'm not so why can't they understand it took one hell of a lot out of me and I may never be the same again or not for a very long time?
 
I've never been a great socailizer. Yesterday we had a retirement party for a guy at work, and it was just too crowded. OK with small groups, but generally don't like being alone all the time.
 
I'll tell you a story
Once upon a time I was a downtrodden wife ah well that is history but I found the one thing that showed me I could walk tall and hold a room full of people in the palm of my hand ..... I found love. The very thing I had lacked all my life. Love comes in many guises and often when you think you have grasped it you gradually realise it wasn't love at all you just thought it was because of your great need. But you make the most of what you have after all where do you go when this is all the life you know? But if you are very very lucky and when you are not even looking love steals up on you and I know it's a cliché but I suddenly blossomed. Someone actually loved me!! I didn't think anyone ever would ........ before all I saw was ugliness inside and out. I didn't know that when I was young I was beautiful ...... I could never see it. It's too late now the beauty faded but what the heck I stand tall and confident in my love.

Beautiful
 
Of course the other side might be forgetting how fortunate we are when loved by someone. I'm extraordinarily blessed these days. Bitch and complain far too much. It's true...


Looks like I won't be going to the Big City next week. Good news/bad news, that. Good for the deeper hibernation potential.

You are very kind and you made my eyes prick with tears. Ron says I am beautiful but he's biased and my eyes tell me a different story but I thank you all the same :rose:

our own eyes don't always tell us the whole truth, sometimes they are a little biased too. we are so much more than what is seen in a mirror. we have thoughts, hearts, souls, experiences... there is a special preciousness about us. we are not copied, cloned beings. we are unique. we are of value to our self and to others. you're a good person Annie, and in no way faded. but in thinking about that, there is something special about faded beauty too. the promise of what once was, a knowing of what once was, an elegance that lasts in mellowed beauty, an elegance that no one can take.

thank you for giving me something special to think about.
:rose:
 
I can think of nothing better to be put on my tombstone than 'Her soul was beautiful'. There are many beautiful souls on this board too

That ain't too bad either:rose:



Might have to go down to the Big City after all. Not such bad news in itself, just hard to go from the comfort of hibernation assurance to sudden uncertainty and possible postponement of the deeper settlement into hibernation.
