I'm on disability because of chronic depression and acute anxiety attacks.  I was finally diagnosed with Bipolar II 2 years ago.
I'm on Lamictal, Cymbalta, Klonopin, and Buspar and I'm doing ok with no full blown anxiety attacks.  It didn't have any effect on being approved.  In fact, it never came up.
I was worried about it too, and I put all the info on the paper work and my meds I take, and no one even questioned it.

11/07 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
There are those in The Program who, at the beginning, shun meditation and prayer as they would avoid a pit filled with rattlesnakes. When they do finally take the first tentative and experimental step, however, and unexpected things begin to take place, they begin to feel different. Invariably, such tentative beginnings lead to true belief, to the extent that those who become nothing less than walking advertisements for its rewards. We hear in The Program that "almost the only scoffers at prayer are those who never really tried it." IS THERE AN OBSTINATE PART OF ME THAT STILL SCOFFS?

TODAY I PRAY
May I learn, however irreverent I have been, that prayer is not to be mocked; I see the power of prayer effecting miracles around me, and I wonder. If I have refused to pray, may I look to see if pride is in my way -- that old pride that insists on doing things on its own. Now that I have found a place for prayer in my life, may I reserve that place -- religiously.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Whoever learns to pray keeps on praying.

 

Good morning OH'ers.. IT'S FRIDAY! !

Today I am grateful..

That I am not a Judas..

For being me..

That I am kind hearted, sometimes too much for my own good, that I lay my head down each night with a clear mind..

That I know things will be okay..

For the sun in the sky and in my heart.. I love you, Debra..

** The post is about a "friend" of mine so please don't ask what is wrong.. LOL

SONG OF THE WEEK..

"PLEASE DON'T JUDAS ME" BY NAZARETH..

Please don't Judas me
Treat me as you'd like to be treated
Please don't blacklist me
Leave me as you'd wish to find me
Don't analyze me
Sacrifice me
Please don't Judas me

Please don't chastise me
Show me just one shred of kindness
Try to help me see
Guide me in my eyes of blindness
Don't despise me
Categorize me
Please don't Judas me

No, no, don't Judas me
No, please don't Judas me

Please don't headshrink me
Don't disguise your innuendos
Make no lies to me
I can see the way the wind blows
Don't deface me
Annihilate me
Please don't Judas me

Please don't number me
Don't betray my trust and promise
Please don't anger me
I find it hard to bear no fairness
Don't frustrate me
Manipulate me
Please don't Judas me

No, no, don't Judas me
No, please don't Judas me

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE WEEK..

I am not sure if this is in a movie but I want to say it.. LOL

TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE..

Happy Hump Day..

Today I am grateful..

That I found out that I can't think myself in to the right actions, instead I can act myself into right thinking..

For knowing when to cut my losses..

For the sunshine..

For smiles and cries..

For the little notes of inspiration I get through PM's and your responses..

Good Monday Morning..

Today I am grateful..

For bitter sweet moments.. It is nice to be missed but you have to be gone to be missed.. I am glad that MY Chubs misses HER Mon..

For understanding..

For being the bigger person and not speaking my mind..

For Debra.. I know I have not been the perfect person and you have chosen to accept me as the person I am.. I know that I would not be the man I am today without you.. I appreciate and I love you, Pretty Girl..

For the life that I have chosen.. It isn't perfect just mine..
