[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 325709, member: 8226"] Thanks for all the responses. I hear in them a lot of hope that things do get better on many levels with time, and a lot of back-up for the mind-body connection concept. As my doctor and I discussed yesterday (and as I bet every single person on the board has experienced), all the new peace and tranquility can be shattered in an instant with a difficult child "issue" suddenly in your face, but meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy feeling better and hope that the hope can build on itself to make things even better. I started the first medication taper today and am very motivated and excited about that. I can't remember when a medication change for me has been a reduction rather than an increase in years! I've been excited about Christmas decorations this year and have actually MADE some outdoor decorations that I really like! (Very out of character for me to make anything...motivated by high prices this year.) I spent 50 cents to make what the stores charged $5.00 for! I needed 10 for my purposes. Yes, proud moment, for sure! :bigsmile: Oh, and I'm also getting back into that concept that there is a difference between "cooking" food and "heating" food. Yes, far too little "cooking" has happened in my house in ages, and I'm ready to get back in and have some fun with it. Yes, many of you mentioned the mental health connection. Absolutely. I thihnk that's what my energy blast is all about. More subjective, though. The physical connections surprised me for some reason. Not much subjectivity about some of them, either. The BiPolar (BP) numbers are what they are. I'd forgotton what numbers like these looked like! Cakewalk--that sounds to me like the grieving process, and I know I'll be right behind you. I've felt twinges so far, but nothing much, and I know it's just because I'm not ready to deal with that part. It will catch up to me. In a grief counseling support group I attended many years ago, the counselor made the statement that acceptance is not forgetting the person but being able to remember without the pain. That will take a LONG time. I can't stand the sight of baby and early childhood pictures at this time. I guess that's called "denial" maybe?? Oh, well. I'll just relax at this "denial" resting area for a bit--at least until I get through the holidays. [/QUOTE]
