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

Today is probably going to be a pretty quiet day for me. I'm feeling sick from lithium and was up until 2:30 AM. I'm hanging out in my room and trying to not move much. Exact opposite of my last admission.

Thanks for the update, Jen. You're constantly in my thoughts and many prayers that there will be real progress in your healing. Rest well.
You're "in the fire" but I see GOLD in you...and it's not the pot at the end of the rainbow. It's the real thing, genuine and sincere like your strong heart and faith. I HATE it that you're suffering but I see your strength and it gives me the gift of hope!
I pray you will be BLESSED at this season, blessed with peace and great LIGHT in the darkness.
Love, Michal
1 Peter 1:6-8 Amplified Bible
6 [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations,
7 So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed.
8 Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not [even] now see Him, you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy.
Good to see an update and very sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I hope the sickness subsides quickly - I remember how much you hate that.
It is good to know that you can "lay low" in your room and that help is only seconds away! I always worried about you going through everything alone so I hope having help available is of comfort to you!
My daughters are home now and we are also "laying low" - there is much napping and quiet going on here - but I wanted to stop in and tell you again that you are in my thoughts and prayers, Jen.
I hope today brought relief from sickness of every form. You've been going through a lot emotionally in the last couple of days. Maybe good to settle and rest.
Good thoughts and prayers are being sent your way!
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.
