Day 1

Today was a good day for me.  I met with my new Psychiatrist today.  He is very nice and informative.  The only thing that I don't like is that he insists that I cut out coffee (caffeine).  I am NOT pleased.


I have new medicine to start taking and some suggestions on how to make myself feel better.  Not only am I Bi-Polar but I also suffer from depression and anxiety.  I know they all kinda go together - but geez isn't 1 thing making me crazy at a time enough?


I was sitting in the waiting room and I was feeling very sad, nervous and a little apprehensive (I come from a family of talk about it for a minute and then deal with it and shrinks aren't real)  -I am sure you can understand that.  So, I decided to read my devotional on my phone for the day, it is Parenting by Design.  I know that didn't really have anything to do with my situation right then but reading it and a few bible verses sure did bring a calm to me that I really needed at that time.  


I am a strong Christian, don't attend church as often as I would like, but I have been so down lately that I am looking anywhere and everywhere for help to make me better.  If it comes from me, the Bible, a "little blue pill" I am good with that.  My husband deserves a better me.  My kids deserve a better me.  My family deserves a better me.  I DESERVE A BETTER ME!


I am hoping that this blog journal will help me on my journey to a better me.
