Hi Fighting 4 Survival I am so glad that you shared this. I have missed reading your awesome work. You have a true talent and have a wonderful way of looking inside which reveals realizations :) Trace

Its usually a lack of potassium that does that. Try eating banana's, they usually help with the cramps.

Hi Spiritsage You may want to take a look in the Relationship Room, there are probably a lot of topics that can help you in moving forward in there and you may get a lot more feedback as well. Trace

To be honest, I have been in physical pain for a while now. It is getting to me. My nerves get trapped and my muscles ache, so I went swimming at 7am and it has helped the pain immensely. Its better than taking Xanax (which takes away the pain, as the pain is due to anxiety triggered by lupus), as it is not good to take Xanax often.

Hi Spiritsage Relationships are not easy, especially when dealing with bipolar, as it can change your perception at times. I am sorry that you have lost this woman, I realize that it hurts, but in time it will heal. You can use this experience to strengthen future relationships. The trick is two way communication and honesty. It sounds like she was being triggered at times, which made her scared. I do not know if the two of you are still in touch, but in order to move forward you may need to not have contact with her, so that you can let go and move forward. Also perhaps try writing a blog or keeping a journal. It can help get the thoughts out there without affecting the other person. Sometimes others just don't know what to do with how you are feeling, or they don't understand it and when people don't understand something it often turns to fear. Trace

Hi Waterboy Often your meds need adjusting. It may be time to go back to the doc to see if you need med changes or adjustments. That may help greatly. In regards to musical hallucinations, here are links to two topics where others are struggling with the same thing. You may find some info in them: http://www.depressionforums.org/forums/topic/62474-do-you-ever-hear-music-in-your-head/?hl=%2Bsongs#entry955311 http://www.depressionforums.org/forums/topic/84542-constant-musicanyone-have-thisi-have-struggled-for-years/?hl=%2Bsongs#entry937671 Trace

Hi Blueskys I am glad that someone inspired you to share your poem. Its wonderfully written and I love the way you write. Trace

Cool and rainy. Makes a change to the melting heat,

Just alone as usual. I did have a nice compliment though from a bunch of kids. They told my daughters that they thought I was their sister, hahahahaha, at least I got a compliment of sorts, which is rare in my life.

A little cooler today, a few clouds and a nice breeze. Don't know how long it will last though.
