@peachpurple Glad that it’s my mom who takes care of me during my confinement period. But both my mom and mother in law know I am very stubborn, I insisted on breastfeeding my baby all the time, so though they would like me to rest more, they understand the benefits of direct breastfeeding, they didn’t stop me. I even bathed my second child and…[Read more]

Its before 6 am and I’m already back.  Yes yes, I’m addicted for sure.

@4cryingoutloud/

which site do you multi-task everyday?

@kaka135/

wow, you are indeed a superb mommy!

I can’t do that. My mom in law would be nagging at me day and night.

She refused to let me out of the bed when I was in confinement month. She wouldn’t let me breastfed my baby during the day , only at night.

She said I had to sleep…[Read more]

@Christi Ann Okay, sounds good to me. Thank you for the reply!

@Lola Okay thanks for the information. It has been really helpful.

I don’t really keep track, however I always have a tab open for the site as I multitask with other sites.

I just joined the other day and have been blogging about some personal stuff.  It falls under health related but it deals with my personal experience with mental illness, some of it my recent experiences with some not so good treatment when I went to seek help at the hospital.

Today I have spent most of the day on here, except for a few hours when I took a nap.  I can see myself doing this most weekends.

I can also see myself spending most of my evenings on here.  I’m going to become addicted.

@4cryingoutloud exactly. The feeling of it is normally happening at home makes me think it is normal indeed, that I don’t have to worry, that I need to get used to it and I never even imagine the silent impact these kinds of things to me. Whenever I will fall in love with someone, it makes me have this scary moment in my head that makes me think…[Read more]

I actually have to have typical therapy, the kind where you go and sit with a trained professional and talk about your issues, to help with my stress.

Other than that, I’d say driving with music on is my stress relief therapy.

Mood swings are the biggest part of bipolar disorder.  You have periods of depression and mania.  Mania can be periods of increase energy, decreased need for sleep, grandiose ideas (thinking you’re above everyone else, have special powers, things like that).  People think that mania is fun and sometimes it is at first…but then you get ag…[Read more]

@grecy095, oh definitely it probably does affect your relationships.  I think that is why I was attracted to alcoholics, they were abusive.  I was even attracted to men that were 10 years older, looking for a “father” figure.  It’s hard to get over, when you’re around abuse, because you think that is “normal.” 🙁

it affects me big time @4cryingoutloud because it makes me not try to say yes to a suitor and start relationship because I am thinking I will end the same way. Though my parents are like that, they never gave up with each other and that is making me inspired as well, but still the abuse is there.
