Obviously, there have been no posts from me for some time. Some of you may remember one in which I mentioned being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type II.
Basically, it hasn't been an easy few months and airing matters like that just didn't seem right or fair here. Between the attempts to get the correct medications, the side effects from each try, etc., it was just too difficult to share and worry anyone. A couple of people that I thought were my friends here (for nine years or more), actually could not handle the whole ordeal and we no longer speak. So, I've been very cautious.
I believe my last post was to inform you all that I had found Percy's body in the field down the road. That loss didn't do much for my psyche at the time, so I withdrew from a lot of places, including this one.
With the help of a good doctor, as well as my loving husband, I am doing much better. We finally found a combination of meds that seem to level things for me, and I'm getting much closer to feeling whole again. There is a long way to go. I will never be "cured", merely maintained. I've finally come to accept this.
So, if I'm not around a lot, please don't think that I've forgotten any of you. I've missed you all and thought of you often, just didn't have enough energy to explain everything.
I'll check in from time to time, definitely more often than I have. If anyone would like to talk or contact me otherwise, there's Yahoo, email , or PM's here. And I hope you all are well.
Take care and thank you,
Ronda
