She and another family member were arguing over a financial issue. The argument became soo heated that the family member with the mental disorder was threatened to stop with her craziness or they would 302 her. I thought that was completely UNFAIR! How could you take someone's illness and turn it against them like that? There was no fists... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/126446/mental-disease http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/120731/fears Mon, 27 Sep 2010 05:23:07 -0400 rklyn26   I have been taking the time to sit and reflect on alot of my new health issues and conserns. Probably my major concern is the Memory Loss. I saw a doctor and did some testing for it. The results were not devastating but did make me worry about if the memory loss will get worse. On top of that i also realized that i cant learn new material without the struggle of remembering and understanding. I get... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/120731/fears http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/120422/life-hah Thu, 23 Sep 2010 00:24:06 -0400 rklyn26 Its been a very long time since i been on this site, but i am glad i am back. Well i need to think on where to begin. Ok. I grew up in a well-mannered family. I was a High Honors Student with a 4.0 in school. I was a good kid and never had any major health problems. At 18, senior year, i started to feel extremely tried all the time. I didnt understand why. At first i just thought it was "senioritis", when a senior doesnt want to go to school... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/120422/life-hah http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/108036/easy Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:11:28 -0400 rklyn26     For sometime now i have been battling to stay happy in my current 2 yr relatonship. My bf has a serious alcohol problem. I believe he gets some type of pleasure out of getting wasted. I dont know why but it does not make this relationship any easier. He decided one day to come home drunk. I felt my safety was comprised because he started acting crazy like beating his chest like a sliver back monkey in the jungle and saying... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/108036/easy http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/106498/sleep-patterns Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:07:13 -0400 rklyn26 I know that a person is supposed to get 7 to 8 hrs of sleep a day and to retire at a decent time. My regular night time when i was working was from 10pm to 7:40am and i continued to keep it that way since then. But i realize that i dont have energy or should i say "hyper" energy that helps me enjoy the day. I know being hyper could mean alot of things for people like us but i mean in a sense that i actually enjoyed my life and i wanted to get... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/106498/sleep-patterns http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/106497/so-he-says Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:51:54 -0400 rklyn26 Well for sometime now, ever since i was fired from my previous job on Jan 4th, i have been contemplating whether i should go back to work or not. I have realized during my time at the previous job that i was not good at it because of my struggle with bipolar. Believe it or not but that was an easy job...well would've been if i had my mental sharpness like i did in my high school years. This sucks and at times it is very heart breaking. I am soo... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/106497/so-he-says http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/106403/feels-good-back Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:31:32 -0400 rklyn26 My cpu was hit with a very nasty virus soo that stopped me from reading and sharing posts lately.

I actually feel good today unlike most days because my boyfriend hasnt been snoring in my damn ear. I sure do miss him at my side when its time to retire for the night. I told him that i want a teddy bear to take your place until this snoring thing is under control. He looked sad when i said that..   Well anyway i feel good. I decided to start listening to worship music at night to help me sleep better and to feel more... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/104659/day http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/104487/he-does-it-again Sun, 21 Feb 2010 23:25:43 -0500 rklyn26 I have been with my boyfriend for now 2yrs. It has definitely been a very bumpy road even to this day. He is an alcoholic and i believe is in denial. I am bipolar and i have been putting up with his crap for sometime now. He drinks alot and has no regards for his heatlh or mine. There was a time in 2008 when he had so much excessive alcohol in his system that he broke his right wrist and leg. We were'nt together at time because he did'nt want to... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/104487/he-does-it-again http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/907466/104405/im Sun, 21 Feb 2010 01:16:03 -0500 rklyn26 Ok so earlier i posted about how i did'nt get adequate sleep and blizting my boyfriend. Now or most of the day i have been spaced out, hyper in sense like overly happy, emotionally sensitive, just plain goofy(lack of coordination) and weird feeln.
