In reply to Hi tdaneen - how's it going today?, posted by Kath on August 12, 2000, at 14:15:07
Well, I'm still here. I guess I'm doing a bit better even! I ended up not taking my night-time meds for something like five nights in a row before I actually had someone come over and watch me take them (just to make sure I got them). I got up the next day and started cleaning the house. I haven't braved the kitchen yet (eek-going on over a month now...gotta love those paper plates!) but I have now washed and put away every piece of clothing, every towel, sheet, every blanket. I have taken out trash, I have even unpacked a few more boxes that I had not unpacked yet. I scrubbed the bathroom (including the toilet and sink) all without a hint of mania (well, other than being just being in a really foul mood-know what I mean?)
Other than cleaning I have spent some great quality time with my daughter. We have rented some movies (I insist that she get some classics on video not just the newest pokemon) Every week we have a "Girls' Nite" Just with her and I. Her favorite videos so far have been "A Little Princess," "The Secret Garden'" and this week's favorite was "Riki Tikki Tavi." I hope I spelled that right.Thanks for the boost Jane, Shar. I really needed it. I really can't remember when my life has been quite this confusing. I guess I just have to be thankful that the meds are working as well as they are, and I do have a way of getting some of this out of my system. Thanks for being here.
Thanks for checking on me Kath. I really need to vent this stuff I tend to keep it all in. When I do try and get it out, it ends up blowing up in my face. I usually hold on to it for far too long.
Kath, anytime you need to talk about what happened to you with your Father in Law, or your childhood sexual abuse, I'm here (or hear) to listen. I've been through something similar and I know how when something happens (like with your Father-in-Law) it can try to bubble back up to the surface.
Anyway, if you want to , ok, if I'm intruding, tell me to Piss off, Ok? No problem.
