Interesting question about the determination not to break down emotionally. I believe it started in kindergarten. I cried every single day at school, and the other kids would tease me. So when I got to first grade I vowed never to cry in school again—and I didn’t (all except for once—and even then I held it off till nobody else could see). Plus now for bipolar I’m on a mood stabilizer plus an anti-psychotic drug, and they dampen the intensity of my emotions for the most part. Yesterday the sadness was just too much, though, and it ‘broke through.” |
Thank you, Rar. I hope you have a good day, too. :) |

(((Gilmer))) You've been such an inspiration to me on the 24-hr. thread. Thank you for being here and showing us sobriety can be achieved with truth, dignity and humor. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: |
Thanks, Bandi! :) |

That’s so funny, Badge! I once took one of those online quizzes, “What’s your spirit animal?” I was surprised at the results: the snake. So I said to my son, “Guess what spirit animal I got!” He paused a minute: “The sloth?” LOL! |
How has your day been, Gilmer? |
I've been away Gilmer, and haven't been online much, but I've been thinking about you and sending positive vibes your way. |
what a gift to do this soberly....to know that when sadness 'breaks through', it is sadness, pure. |
Thanks, you guys. Today has been busy. I ended up with a constant dull pain in my stomach and a splitting headache. Off to bed now. Thanks for asking! |
Hope you feel better this morning Kathy! |
Thanks, SG. I do. :) Life has become so rich, because people are coming forward to show their genuine concern, and the conversation tends to be deeper. |
I took the quiz to find out and I'm a turtle - exactly what I predicted when I started! Kathy, I'm glad that people are starting to be open with you - that must be a relief and also very rewarding. It's a gift to have the opportunity to interact with the whole person, no? Have a pleasant day and remember to take time for yourself. O |
