Since we last spoke, I've been through many ups and downs (such is my life) and i will fill you in a bit:
in October, 2009 my grandma who was living with us, passed away. The same month, I had my heart torn out by a guy. I wont bother you with the details. 2009 was a horrible year. I was hoping 2010 would be an improvement. In January, I quit my job at the coffee shop, and decided to pursue a freelance design career. Needless to say, work is slow.
I did succeed in putting together a pretty decent Zombie Walk (cuz i'm into that sort of thing!), and made some money selling t-shirts i designed for it, and made a lot of good business contacts. In May, i had my heart torn out AGAIN (man i'm good at that...), and currently I'm being avoided by my new "love interest" fun fun.
I'm still virtually unemployed, though I think i'm going to get a part time something while I do my freelance (no way in hell am i going back to the coffee shop). I've got a second zombie walk coming up in october (yay!) so that's a chance to do something substantial.
Oh and did I mention Ive now been off meds for a year, AND I've succeeded in losing 50 pounds! Physically i feel pretty good!
Recently though, I've realized i really need to get a new psychiatric work up. I'm pretty sure that I have Borderline Personality Disoder instead of OR in addition to my Bipolar. The biggest reason is that i really have abandonment/loneliness issues, and trouble with obsessing over relationships. And sometimes I lose my sense of self...it just fits better. So soon I'm going to go back to counseling (which I havent done in over a year since my last one dumped my insurance and decided to charge me 600+ dollars, which i cant pay). Wish me luck.

Hi cloudydaze,
Welcome back. I don't know you but I just stopped back in myself. Sounds like you survived a rough year. So I had to google "Zombie Walk". Boy would I like to grab a beer and watch that (from a safe distance of course).
Anyway, sounds like you're gonna get a new workup and maybe some answers, good luck with that :-)

Yeah, I've been dubbed the zombie queen of southern illinois...apparently I'm a bit of a local celeb.
I have had a rough couple of years...well actually the past 10 have been a challenge.
Phillipa! I remember you too :) I may look a bit diff now after a 50 pound weight loss...and my hair is currently teal streaked :P
