Recovering from a episode of major depression...

This blog shall document my struggle with a mental illness. I hope anyone that comes across it, will find inspiration to continue to live and live well. Be forewarned, if negative moods and actions affect how you feel or affect your well-being then don't read my blog. Otherwise all encouraging and carefully crafted criticisms are appreciated.

Recovery. A New Approach.

I have lost most of material possessions. Who am I? I have lost things with no meaning. What do I find important? Love? Do I possess it or do i give it? No. Am I human? Barely.

How did I have nearly three years of suicide free thought? I kept so busy I didn't have time to think. What happens to the lazy and the non working? Thinking and change. I worked and I didn't think. I worked and ignored my despair. I had warnings. My last warning was when I was getting a physical in January and my doctor who I never been to before saw that I was treated for bipolar disorder. At that time I thought it was a misdiagnosis, now upon reflection I see that it was correct.

Back to the topic at hand. I need a plan to become and maintain stability. I need meds; particularly mood stabilizers. I need human real life contact. Support groups, religion, hobby/sports can do this. I should make my bucket list a goal to accomplish in the next ten years. I need to have detailed plans. A weekly plan, a monthly plan, a six month plan, a year plan, a five-year and ten year plan.

Side note: my mother upsets me. I feel powerless in her presence I hate that feeling.
