Kinda like the banana pudding my gran use to make. Even though it was all store bought ingredients, no one could ever make it the way she did. It was her touch that made it special just like it was your touch that made that saying come to life.Maasiyathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335479646687529836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452859810437519471.post-82016206883990943482011-05-22T21:33:38.432+01:002011-05-22T21:33:38.432+01:00Just to give credit where it is due, I stole the f...Just to give credit where it is due, I stole the first couple sentences from something someone once told me, just inserted my own foul language to spice it up a little.

One reason I did start this blog was a way for me to better understand myself and also as a way for others who know someone who has bipolar or have bipolar themselves to maybe also understand.Maasiyathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335479646687529836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452859810437519471.post-5436566303635037372011-05-22T12:54:33.814+01:002011-05-22T12:54:33.814+01:00First time here.

I love her to death, and I have ridden the storms out with her... when she lets me. I myself sometimes experience serious depression... when I can't even remember what a better tomorrow might look like. Usually, it doesn't get that bad. usually, I can remember the better tomorrows and yesterdays and know that the phase is temporary and will pass.<br /><br />The maddening part is not always knowing what brought it on. I try to tell myself it's like someone injected me with a "misery" drug... and once it runs through my veins, it'll be gone. I just have to wait it out. <br /><br />It can be really fucking hard. If you read my very first blog post, you'll see someone trying to claw their way out. <br /><br />When i feel like this, I often get this need to stew in my own darkness. Like I DON'T want help; I want to succumb to it because I am exhausted from trying to push through it. And then... somehow I know when to finally give in and make a call to someone and cry... and usually I end up being grateful that I finally let someone know how I was feeling and it really does help.<br /><br />Maybe this blog is a great way for you to keep track of those better yesterdays and todays. It's evidence that you rode out your storm... and can ride out as many as you need to... because those better tomorrows are worth it. <br /><br />I know how draining this is. And I won't try to sugarcoat it. But it also probably gives you a unique voice and a unique perspective. <br /><br />Keep fighting. www.righteousventing.comMinka Fieldstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533091873420914246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452859810437519471.post-78039127283705047202011-05-21T19:41:51.517+01:002011-05-21T19:41:51.517+01:00Nuh-uh.
