I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

Grieving Mother's Day

This will be the second Mother's Day without my mother and I am noticing a trend. About mid-April it starts - the commercials, the billboards, and newspaper ads collectively describing the "perfect" gift to give or place to go for Mother's Day. At first I felt a slight twinge of sadness, but being the well trained therapist that I ...

I Am Lovable and Capable Part I: Self-Esteem-The Mood Disorder Cure

I am lovable and capable: Isn't that what it's all about? If we all felt lovable and capable there would be significantly less depression, anxiety or panic as diagnosable conditions. Urban legend has it that all of us wear an invisible sign around our necks that have the letters "I.A.L.A.C." on it. IALAC stands for; I am lovable and capable. As we ...

I'm Evil

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Call For Help story

Okay. I'm out of control. I've been checking my husband's email accounts, etc. I do it to keep tabs on him. He's so busy with his breakdown and boyfriend that he tells me nothing. I have been in limbo trying to figure out whether I should hang on for our marriage in the future or just let go and find someone else. (I wish it was that simple, anyhow.) I read tonight that he's m...

MRI

Thursday, May 15, 2008

I volunteered to participate in a neuroimaging study at Duke University (30 minutes away from home). Apparently they will use the results of my and others MRI’s to compare to non bipolar’s brain scan. I will be compensated $80 dollars for it, it will take a total time of 3 hours consultation including interviews and blood test.
Anyways, you guys know I need money desperately an...
