      From Tamara999 Yesterday

      I am SO SELFISH with my chocolate. My boyfriends used to laugh at me. They KNEW not to try to get any of my dessert if it was chocolate. Anything else was fine. They FEARED me when I had a plate of chocolate in front of myself.

      I have been hospitalized twice for "attempts" of alcohol related suicide; then they determined with blood work and such that I was severe bipolar. Now I take SOME meds. Recently got a DUI and am paying for that one...didn't know you couldn't carry your meds outside script bottle. boyfriend and I just broke up and I moved out. I haven't had a drink since Jan. So I'm back with my parents and depressed as ever. Looking for some support.
