And not just for the ye...Yes, AMAZING is the word! And not just for the years you were "normal", but for who and what you are that enabled you to triumph over this disease. AmaZinG!<br /><br />Gosh, I sure didn't know my use of the word "normal" on a previous comment would trigger such a response in you. If any of that response is/was negative, I sincerely apologize. Truly I do because I never, never ever want to cause pain or bad feelings for you. I'd rather never to write again rather than take that risk Jen! So, you tell me, ok?<br /><br />When I wrote that "n-word" I was thinking about how your life has been anything BUT normal since fall of 2010 - so that was my reference point; the last year+. Absolutely you don't want all that as normal, right? Gaaaa! As I have said many times... what you have endured the last year+ would be impossible for anyone, let alone someone with bipolar disease. Once again, that makes you AmaZinG!<br /><br />It sounds like you are making good progress processing this whole change. Change is always difficult. Change is one thing we can all count on. I like the way you are working through it, and I thank you once more for sharing your journey.<br /><br />I don't know if you will like this or not, but AmaZinG makes me think of Aerosmith, and when I looked up the lyrics, boy, they sure seemed applicable (I love lyrics!) Sooooo, here's some Aerosmith for you, AmAzinG Jen, because "I KNOW YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT!"<br /><br />Becky<br /><br />oh, and Good Morning, Jen! :-)<br /><br />I kept the right ones out<br />And let the wrong ones in<br />Had an angel of mercy<br />To see me through all my sin<br />There were times in my life<br />When I was goin insane<br />Tryin' to walk through the pain<br /><br />When I lost my grip<br />And I hit the floor<br />I thought I could leave<br />But I couldn't get out the door<br />I was so sick and tired<br />Of livin' a lie<br />I was wishin' that I would die<br /><br />Its amazing <br />With the blink of an eye<br />I finally saw the light<br />Its amazing<br />That when the moment arrives<br />You know you'll be alright<br />Its amazing<br />And I'm sayin' a prayer<br />For the desperate hearts tonight<br /><br />That one last shots a permanent vacation<br />And how high can you fly with broken wings<br />Lifes a journey not a destination<br />And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings<br /><br />You have to learn to crawl<br />Before you learn to walk<br />But I just couldn't listen <br />To all that rightous talk<br />I was out on the street<br />Tryin'a survive<br />Scratchen to stay alive<br /><br />Its amazing <br />With the blink of an eye<br />I finally saw the light<br />Its amazing<br />That when the moment arrives<br />You know you'll be alright<br />Its amazing<br />And I'm sayin' a prayer<br />For the desperate hearts tonightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-79515568865580470472012-01-09T00:56:59.476-05:002012-01-09T00:56:59.476-05:00Amazing post, Jen. Amazing woman. Awhile back I ...Amazing post, Jen. Amazing woman. Awhile back I mentioned that you have Dr. Mind and your blog to help with remembering things. It's so great that you have such a complete record.<br /><br />I'm sort of speechless at the moment as I begin to absorb what you've written. <br /><br />I will ponder and pray and then crash. I gave a fifth pregnancy massage to the young woman who is now 8 days overdue. We also hiked to a waterfall, prayed as the sun set and sang hymns and old Young Life and campfire type songs. So much for cramming for tests...didn't happen.<br /><br />First "clinic" tomorrow which means I may have my first strangers to massage at the student clinic.<br /><br />You're one awesome lady, Jen!<br /><br /><br />p.s. I appreciate the way you put lots of little paragraphs in this post. It makes it much easier to read. B's really good at putting spaces in her comments. I like it.Michal Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680002305753968190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-74461940937193267812012-01-08T20:31:27.382-05:002012-01-08T20:31:27.382-05:00Wow, wormies are still there??

Finishing your education and working at a challenging profession while also working around bipolar disorder and medication side effects was extraordinary. You gave your self a time estimate years ago, and were spot on - I wish I had that type of foresight. <br /><br />Hope you found clean sheets!!WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.com
