At some point in everyone's life, most people suffer from some type of depression. My depression is based on the fact that I can no longer work, the constant pain and fatigue I deal with daily. It is normal to feel depressed for many reasons. I want to share this particular post with you and others, here goes: Monday, May 21, 2007 Join me in making today a better day Today is the day I will turn on music and make myself smile and dance and see the world in another way. Come along, come along and help me make it there. I say to myself. Somebody is going to help me and I am going to help them. Now I am laughing, though I know someday I will be crying again. However today I focus on the positive and enjoy my music and life as it is. Join me and turn on the music. Labels: My Own Experience posted by Fibro Viv @ 1:24 PM I hope this helps you and others when dealing with depression.

Join me in making today a better day
Today is the day I will turn on music and make myself smile and dance and see the world in another way.

Come along, come along and help me make it there. I say to myself.

Somebody is going to help me and I am going to help them. Now I am laughing, though I know someday I will be crying again.

However today I focus on the positive and enjoy my music and life as it is.

Join me and turn on the music.

I'll need to republish some other articles from my older blog which is mostly about philosophy and Taoism! My sister is a psychologist and she had a term for my personality disorders but I cannot remember what she called it. It is closely related to bi-polar but is less severe. We should all look at the similarities to one another instead of nationalistic pride in our differences! One thing blogging has done for me is teach me that we are all one people. I don't care where you are from or the color of your skin, we are all related somewhere down the line :smile: Mighty Morgan: I had 2 other blogs long before this one also.

I agree so much with what you wrote in regards to focusing on the similarities between people...often I have found that I slip into that mode where I see nothing but the differences...but that's only my way of keeping out the message of hope that others bring before me...I'm in recovery and the most important thing they stress is for us to FOCUS on the similarities and not the differences..just this little morsel of thought allows me to experience a whole new perspective in life and allows me to for a moment in time see that I am more like people then different After the comment you left on my blog I became intrigued and wanted to read as much about what you wrote about…the process of becoming. this is the first post i found so far and i have to say i can totally relate with you on the depression thing…I am what is called a “Bipolar” and although I love the manic highs that come with this disorder the deep dark depths of the depression are almost unbearable!

The problem is most of us are unable to discern between passion and the desires of human nature. I was one who used to flitter away time watching TV ("entertain me".) Now, unless it is a show that I REALLY enjoy, after watching TV I feel dirty. We have a joke in our house about loosing IQ points after watching a contrived show. I feel very lucky that in addition to my work, which I enjoy, I can follow my passion. My passion is writing about attitude and the internet gives me an audience and the ability to interchange ideas, philosophies and life experiences with people from around the world. While blogging, I can feel my intelligence actually increasing. And, I believe that I am giving something worthwhile to the world. We are indeed very fortunate people, and I take blogging very seriously, while having the time of my life. I can?t wait to get behind the computer and blog. I am just a little concerned that it doesn?t become an obsession. By the way, I have linked my site to yours.

I am 41 but I feel 25. I can still do a full side split and I as limber a a rubber band! My sister is a psychologist and tells me I don't have a brain chemistry problem but a psychological problem. I have had too many heartbreaks, more than anyone I know personally. Twenty-three if my count is correct. I am proud to say that I only was intimate (real intimate) with five. Most guys would never say that. I refuse to go to that point just casually like all my guy friends do. Most of them are in serious relationships but the relationships they have for the most part are not exactly what I', looking for. There I go talking only of my self again. Thanks for talking to me tonight, I wish for you to have great success in your life and mental well-being :smile: Thats right about age being a relative term. I am 41 but I feel 25.

I feel 28 most of the time. Age is a relative term. My son has stopped his mood stabilizer and doesn't seem any different. He's BP2 and I've seen one hypomanic time period. My youngest brother is hypomanic always. He doesn't take meds, but he used to work as a waiter and the extra energy helped him be a great waiter. My brother never gets the downs. My son is just a flake. We'd really like him to get a job since he sin't in school. It took me a long time to find a med that worked for me. Serzone which was taken off the market 2 years ago. What I take now is ok and the side effects are minimal. Since the med is helping I don't want to take a chance by stopping it and the withdrawel is a bitch. I had withdrawel after Serzone even though I was weaning up on another med...........a week of tight muscles, hot sweats, cold sweats, migraines, feeling totally awful and anxiety. It was a loooooong week. I'm glad you can cope without meds. Thanks for the reply. You smooth talker you. I feel 28 most of the time. Age is a relative term.

I have never taken any pharmaceuticals on a regular basis. I had worse problems when I did. I hope your son is ok, I hate to hear that. Here's a hug for you too! Only 45? I thought you were 25:smile:</p> Janice: Thank you for sharing that with me. I have never taken any pharmaceuticals on a regular basis. I had worse problems when I did.
