Tue, September 5, 2006 - 2:35 PMhey melissa and how have you been?
I think I got side tracked about seven years ago and decided to stay that way...hard to tell.
routine exercising helps for me.
oh, I overdosed on lithium and got hospitalized, by the way. not a fun thing to do and I now believe the substance only belongs in batteries.
Anyway, hope you get you focus back.

Thu, September 7, 2006 - 4:44 PMthanks for the posts guys.
yep, OD-ing sucks my dear friends.
And Melissa, how've you been??(one with baby) I'm also on the look out for a part time job now since I'm too high functioning for any form of aid and I'm not recovered enough for a career move. so I guess I'm stuck, basically.
maintaining focus is hard. I don't have the stamina for it. and I've been on my back for the past two years so I can't remember how I was when I was functioning better.
anyway, just dropping by to say hi.

Sat, October 28, 2006 - 8:26 AMI too am Pharacutically challenged at this time, and for me, I am fortunate enought to work nights..
So I write everything down, and I repeat what I can remember over and over again,(checkng my list often).
While I am repeatting that, I find that it's not neccessarily Focus, but more of an auto pilot sort of thing.
The writting everything down does sort of give my Boss a moment of "pause", as it were, but She hired me knowing what I was, and that I requested a postting on Graveyards for a darned good reason.
I just started this job, and it is so cool, because, I heard her and her assitant interviewing a woman in the next room, and as I heard this interviewee list her qualificaions, I thought to myself,"I'll never get this job.".
The Manager and her assistantresponded to this obviously qualified applicant with a "We'll review you application and get back to you" type of biz...
So I figured I was never getting this job, and sure enough, my beingeven less qualified (in my oppinion) than the previous person what even less of a postive impression to this manager, but I sat there, and answered all the questions as honestly as I could.
Then She said "Tell Me about yourself?"
So I did...I laid all my cards on the table, and I didn't hold back on even the gorriest of details...Her jaw dropped...
She was quietly staring at me in I guess what was disbelief, she then offered me the job...LOL
She then made a comment about understanding copletely why I wanted to go to graveyards.
They ended up hiring that other applicantas well, but for a different department...
So I have been there two weeks now, and my boss just diggs the heck out of me.
so I might just manage to keep a job long enough to get on a benfits plan, and get the treatment I need...
It worked for me, and it might work for anyone else.
Sorry if I was long winded. -

Sun, December 3, 2006 - 5:13 AMtake a walk. Just take a simple, little walk. Don't make it a hike, a jog, or big thing. Twice a day- get up, go outside, and walk for 10-20 mins.
breath deep and try to empty your head. Meditation-in the simplest form. Practice this?
It has helped me.....
