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 am Lovable and Capable Part II: The Importance of Recognizing Negative Core Beliefs

I am asked almost daily how to "fix" depression, anxiety and panic. Many want to know about a pill or a word or where to buy the pixie dust that will "cure" them. I understand the urgency to find that "quick fix." I know personally what it feels like to suffer with anxiety. I have read posts & journals on Daily Strength of people suffering. In ...

Have you heard the saying: If you want something done ask a busy person? You know the type: full time job, full time parent, on the PTA, neighborhood watch, volunteers and always says yes when asked. And somehow it all gets done, on time with ease. This is a great metaphor for treating anxiety & panic. You've got to get busy. You've also got ...

Relentless Infinite Boredom

Friday, May 16, 2008

My boyfriend is playing poker tonight and I am home alone. I am bored. I don't know what to do. I pace, clean, pace, clean, eat, rearrange things, flip the channels. Why do I do this? I feel so unproductive. I will do this for hours. Pace and clean and accomplish nothing. It reminds me of being a kid and the many times my mom "restricted&qu...

OMG

Friday, May 16, 2008

I fought the voices and sent a text message to Hicham (from mycricket.com) telling him that the voices were strong and I didn't know how much longer I was going to be able to fight them. He called me back but said that he hadn't read my text message.
He asked me what I texted him and I told him why. He gets all mad telling me that I lock myself up in the apartment and go no whe...

weird day

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Frustrating story

I slipped today. I wasn't feeling my best today, but not my worst either. I went to the bank after work; and then the grocery store. They didn't have what I was looking for. I think that was when I lost my focused concentration. I looked for something else, and couln't find that. This happened at least two more times. I was also uncomfortable because I'm out in my stupid uniform. ...

Just an update... haven't logged on in a while and this is actually the first time I am blogging. Some things are great, some are so-so, and others not so great. So I guess it averages out to me feeling OK.

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Venting story

Well now that I am more in a writing mood I may write a few more lines then my previous posts. I have been struggling with my bipolar a lot lately. I am my own worst enemy, and have caused most of my own problems. Luckily I have an awesome husband, whom is very supportive of my problem. I am at a point in my life that I feel I should learn to love me. The problem is it is ...

Earlier another dream I had last night came to me...
I was waiting outside for my mom to pick me up. We were going somewhere (which I didn't (know where)). She shows up and I get in her car and she drives off. Suddenly things change and I'm out of the car and I'm trying to get a new apartment at some exotic place. Hicham wasn't in my life so it was just me.&...
