Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." Genesis 9:13

Please tell me which anonymous you are. 2 anon, both on the West Coast and I can't see the blog to figure out who you are. Whoever is whapping their head, stop it! Thanks for sharing your caring though.

I didn't leave you a message about dreaming so it's the other "anon."
You're correct to be disappointed that groups aren't available. It would be a much better program if groups were provided no matter if it's Christmas time and staff is vacationing.
You were very wise to go to the hospital knowing that you've reached the end of a very long rope. No guilt. You've been concerned about Dr. Brain's health and you also have a very legitimate need for doctoring. "Guilt" is for wrongdoing...you have done nothing wrong. Your health issues are very difficult. You're extremely brave to put it all out there.
Last night I helped bring a little Christmas cheer to one of the psych wards at our excellent Veteran's hospital. I wish I could visit you and bring a little light but I guess my notes tell you I care.
I pray that you will feel secure in God's gift of faith in spite of your challenges.
Romans 11: 29 For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]
B. (anonymous) here but I am in MN where there is currently NO SNOW (I love it!) When you emailed me last, I should have written back and told you that I am a midwesterner like you are.
I am not whopping my head, although I DID just take a fall in my kitchen. I am fine - but gee, if I get any older I just may break a hip, huh? :-)
I love what Michal said above - that guilt is for wrong doing. You've done NOTHING wrong, and you never did.
I hope it is sunny where you are and that today is better than yesterday.
Over the years I have noticed that when I have the least hope a rainbow appears. Rainbows are a wonderful combination of beauty, hope, happiness and rain, the product of ugly grey clouds that hide the beauty of the sky. The beauty that is a rainbow can only come with the presence of both rain and sun. Such is life with bipolar disorder. There are good times, there are tough times, and there are rainbows to remind us that beauty will return, sometimes fleetingly and sometimes for a long time. This blog is my story of sadness and hope. Please scroll down to "Who I Am" under Pages to read more about me and the people who populate this blog.
Please note that any patient experiences noted in this blog are heavily edited to disguise events. Similarities to real persons are coincidental.
Please also know that while I speak as a professional at times, I am not a doctor. I have strong opinions, some based on professional training and/or experience, some based on research, and some based on personal experience of my own variety of this illness. Therefore what I say is my opinion, not a fact and doctors should always be consulted.
