I managed to finish my school projects that were remaining. I have 2 classes left this semester then finals which I need to start studying for. I spent most of my day on campus yesterday, meeting with the remaining members of my group putting together an awesome powerpoint presentation. Its a subject close to my heart so it was hard to fit everything I wanted to say into a 40 minute presentation but I did it. The amount I talk doesn't help anything either. So today its a full morning of ringette games for the daughter, then crafts with the rest of the kiddies, and finally putting together ribbons in support of mental health for above mentioned presentation.
My sleep has been so disturbed lately, I live on coffee and monster energy drinks. This is not a good thing because the more caffeine I pump in my system the closer I creep to a full blown panic attack. I was Christmas shopping for the kids on Friday night and the crowds sent me into a claustrophobic fit. I love Christmas but hate the whole shopping part of it. I think I should start buying things online.
I started a blog following my life with BPD. I feel like I need to bring awareness to it, as well as the reasons behind why I developed it, the trauma that led to the PTSD that then led to the diagnosis of BPD. Its definitely gotten better since my 20's, especially since I am so involved in mental health and study it extensively. It doesn't give me excuses for my poor behavior, but maybe brings a little understanding to why I feel its not wrong at the time I am doing it.
I was able to get a refund on my plane ticket, a trip I am no longer taking. Thanks to my friend who works for Air Canada. He is awesome!!
So it looks like despite what I thought, I am going to pass my courses with flying colors. I got lucky in a way, I fucked up along the way so getting a second chance to redeem myself was a blessing. On to next semester, Diversity and Field Work, should be more exciting than last semester.
Oh and on a side note, I encourage anyone who is able to, to donate a gift to a local children's charity, and help give a kid something to open on Christmas. I was one of those kids most of my life, and every year make sure my kids know the benefit of giving, and have them pick out gifts for less fortunate kids.What could be more rewarding than putting a smile on a kids face?
Happy Sunday all!

congrats on passing your course! I've had a couple of friends with bi-polar and it can definitely be a challenge to deal with, but your right, the more understanding other have of it the better. I know a lot of people just think 'oh that means their crazy right?' when obviously it's not that at all.
