Ups and downs….

Posted by micie66 on September 26, 2006

Life is going well for now. I am learning about my triggers and what sets me off into hypo-manic stages. I am learning that I get panic attacks/anxiety attacks and crabby/anger/irritability during my manic phase. I am slowly coming out of one now. That’s good. Today I went to prayer counseling and made some more headway into my childhood issues. I have been blessed with 2 wonderful Godly older women to mentor me and counsel me. They have such insight and wisdom.

Brit is doing good and growing each week. Here is the latest picture I have. It’s from about 22 weeks or so.

Encouraging Phil and other updates

Posted by micie66 on September 15, 2006

Today I am praying for Phil. He has been down lately and I am concerned about him. I am happy to pray for him and even fast for him. I wish there was more I can do for him.

I am off Abilify. I am only on depakote and seroquel. I hope these help me enough and that’s it. I have been having some digestion issues the last few days. I don’t want to see the doctor about it just yet. I am exercising a bit now. I have to do something to lose weight and get in shape. I am determined to be healthy in mind and body. But since there is no money for gyms or more counseling visits, I will exercise at home and have some free prayer counseling visits as well. Phil will be starting Living Waters on Monday. It’s a long course and I have to be strong for the long haul. I am not going hinder Phil and his healing.
