Supportng whom exactly..?

After attending Support Groups with my wife for Mental Illness, I have decided to look for a different.

Don't get me wrong, this Support Group does excellent work for people -- who don't suffer from Mental Illness. It's ideal for those that are learning to handle those with Bi Polar, Depression etc.. But it tends to hold little interest for someone like me.

I need to be in a group of indivduals who suffer from it. To who know how absolutely annoying it can be. to know how to tight rope walk with your doctors to find the "Right Cocktail" is frustratting beyond words. I need to know that I am not a freak, I am learning to adjust to another phrase in my life and I don't expect everyone to understand what it is like.

Gulity Pleasures from the Grave...


Sugar Cookies made from during downtime before the
 new "Two and a Half Men" without Mr. Winning.

I am a very impulsive type of person.. I will stop everything I am doing if a great idea pops into into my head.

Last Night, I decided to make sugar cookies. Lately, I have been in this baking kick. It could be from ALWAYS being hungry due to my medication, or my wife, Sarah, leaving me notes on the white board. Little hints that she was craving sugar cookies. Why Sugar Cookies? I have no idea. I'm more of a chocolate chip cookie girl myself. Okay - correction - I am more of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough type of girl. I made a cookie roll from the last type the cookie bug bite me and kept it in the freezer for "next time", which there probably won't be a next time because  I keep nibbling on it.

So this leads into a interesting question, what are your Guilty Pleasures when it comes to food? What are the things that no matter, you must have. The very thing has killed every attempt at you had at dieting, or is your go-to item when your having a bad day.

It's a week today left I left the hospital.

I have been on Anti-Depression & Anti-Psychotic medication for the past 2 weeks. The doctors alerted me to the fact that it would take at lease a month before I start feeling the benefits of them, but I already started to feel it after just one week. 

I'm already started to feel more balanced. Taking things one day at a time instead trying to take everything on at same time. The little comments that people make aren't sending into a fit of rage and depression like they once did. That for me, is the hardest thing to get used to. I feel like I was going full speed in the fast lane to dragged over into the slow lane. It's learning readjust to my varying and everything around me. It's very odd, but in a good positive way.
