Friend love can be amazing and it shows that there are girls who appreciate aspects of you. Even if they might only see you as a friend those aspects must be great and ONE day there could be someone who see it as more and wants a relationship.
Sorry for posting this and I hope you are able to read it.
I figured out the biggest cause of my relationship issues. I haven't been taking care of myself and my bipolar has been slowly creeping in and I ended up getting in the way of me not responding or reacting accurately.
We still have things to work on, both of us.
Now I am even more excited to see where we can grow and change and what we can become.
I do not think I'm manic any longer and I think I'll be great by Friday. I'm probably going to come home and try and sleep a bit more too but we shall see.
I'm happy today because I'm finally pushing through my anxiety to talk to my doctor about some problems I've been having, but have been too nervous to talk to her about it.
My body is fighting to find its natural weight. I know what that number is (at least, I assume it's what I weighed in high school when I didn't partake in all the ED behaviors I have been since June) and while I'm not comfortable with it, I'm okay with it. I'm learning to not find my identity in my illness.
Two days till the interview and than I have all weekend to relax.
One day till I *might* go hang out with my friends.
I need to start studying for the interview and print a few things up but that should be easy. I did most of that the other day but now I am well rested.

I made it to book club and they picked two books that seem interesting. Hoping to be able to read both but since both seem interesting ... I might be able to get to at least one since it has been very hit or miss if I'll enjoy a book or be able to get into it.
I'm super positive today because I did my volunteer work and met with some people there who were really lovely..one offered me a reference for studying and another basics said he works with student support at a uni I'm looking into and to get in touch.
Not everything goes right but some things do.
My doctors office got me in, finally, I called and was able to get ahold of staff. They were going to forward an email to him and I explained I've been trying to get this taken care of sine the 8th and initially an email was forwarded.
Put me on hold and they were able to get me in tomorrow at 230 with my doctor. That's unexpected as he is so busy and I was assuming I'd end up with someone else.
A little nervous he's gonna be mad at me for stopping y medications and not being open about certain things... And how bad my hypo mania and my moods have been.
I'm happy today because it's turned out to be a 'lazy' day at home. It's all rainy and stormy out so my daughter and I have been hanging out, and doing some house work together and it's been nice.

I was able to cope better with everything I had to do today. Tomorrow is an important day so hopefully I can cope and than I have friday which is making me most anxious but getting through today has already decreased the anxiety.
I'm happy today because it's snowing in spring?! I'm sad that it's too cold to plant our flowers outside right now, but I will admit seeing the snow all over the green grass and pretty flowers is nice.

I got through the test and I don't think I did terribly. I probably passed but the math was slightly more complicated than I anticipated. Going to have to remember a calculator for my purse from now on.
I'm happy today because I was able to get a decent amount of sleep. I woke up too early but I went to bed super early. Maybe if I take my night meds closer to bed it will help with that.

On a whim I did some writing today, and not only did I finish the piece (admittedly a short one-shot, but still), I actually kind of like it. Very unexpected but, hey, I'm not complaining.
I was able to sleep. I didn't go to bed till close to 6am but I was able to get about 6 hours of sleep. Most of that is because it is the weekend and I have the free time to sleep in. Hoping my sleep will get better eventually.

My custom-made buttons arrived today and I love them so much! They were definitely worth the wait. It's perfect timing too since this week is going to be rough, so at least I have something to cheer me up a little bit.

A literary agent requested the full manuscript. I have sent thirty-one queries. This is the first agent to request more.
I really need a change. Too much loss in the last year. I really need SOMETHING to go right.
Got to continue my binge-watch of old TV episodes of a show now that's gone bad.
The blog I am following updated today, I love their entries because it's always so inspiring!

I am going to look into taking a course next semester. Have to talk to the counselor tomorrow (we'll be down there anyway). It will be a 3 unit course and it should be solely online so my hope is that if I end up getting a job I'll still be able to manage. Just struggling with doing nothing for so long.
I'm happy today because I'm going to the doctor to review some test results. While I'm nervous about what may be said, I'm happy that I'll finally get some answers and hopefully formulate a treatment plan to help.
