What would I do without my husband?

Last night I got into it with someone close to my husband and I and they were using religion to attempt to "discuss" their opinions with me. Which would have been fine, however, when you are telling me my beliefs are wrong based off of your beliefs, I cannot and will not take you seriously. All in all, I ended up blocking some people on Facebook at the advice of my therapist and have decided to avoid situations where I may run into some of these people that I have blocked.

I told my husband about it. He asked how it started and I explained it was from something that I posted about what I believe.

That's when I confessed to him one of my biggest fears I have... I'm afraid that one day he will wake up and suddenly believe the things that others have said and say about me, and that he will leave me. It's scary when people become so anti something... especially when it's anti you.

He simply responded that that will not happen and that he loves me. He then proceeded to make his own point about what I "discussed" with that other person. It was such a good point! It was one of those, "DAMNIT! Why didn't I think of/say that?!"

In other news...

I am officially done with classes until October 6th! And I got a B+ and a B- which was great for sped up online classes about subjects I have never even touched before. I'm pretty pleased with myself. I will be starting full-time this fall and I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited since I love filling my time with the productivity of school and my healthy lifestyle.

Speaking of healthy lifestyle... I have lost another 3 pounds! Just one pound away from having lost 10 pounds so far! Then, I will have approximately 90 to go! It's a lot, but I, for once in my life, feel as if I can actually do this!

I saw my personal trainer again tonight. My mom even came with, which was so nice to have extra support and someone else to cheer on at the same time! We did arms today and it was so intense! My arms hurt so bad! And on top of that, my abs are killing me from going to yoga last night with one of my best friends who is also working on a healthy lifestyle. I LOVE yoga! It was like a meditation workout for your mind and body! Had I not gotten into it with that person last night, I would have passed out when I got home because I was so relaxed!

But life is good. Been a little hypomanic lately... I don't mind the hypomania if it wasn't for the messed up sleep and having such a difficult time falling asleep.

The joys of bipolar disorder.

Why?

Why do I let you consume my life at times and enter my mind? Maybe it's because you have wronged me worse than anyone ever has in my life. Why do I let the horrible things you say to us overwhelm me and make me feel like I could just break down and cry? Because you have not only picked a fight with me, but my husband as well. Why do I let you get away with things that I know are not okay? Because I think you are my friend, or are you? Why am I even giving any of you the time of day at this very moment?! Because sometimes the negativity in this world is overwhelming. And it overwhelms me to see people post and share and tweet and whatever such harmful and negative things. How can one see only the bad in a situation? How can one only focus on the bad one may be doing? What is the good? Where is the good? I feel so often, lately, as if I am drowning in a sea of blackness with all of your negative remarks and comments. How do you hold your head above water? I do it long enough

The person I want to be

Have you ever looked at your reflection in the mirror and asked yourself, "how did I get here?" I'm having one of those nights tonight. I've been having a long talk with God and I feel frustrated because I just feel like I'm talking in circles and rambling on and on. It's like... Uhhh! Enough already! I'm really new with my faith and I'm extremely new at having conversations with God. (I would love to tell my coming-to-faith story, but we will save that for another day!) I've found myself in a predicament lately because I've been taking really good care of my skin, hair, nails, feet, but not really what goes into my body... the core of it all. A friend of mine and I just started a weight loss challenge, and both of us were doing great on our nutrition plans before that, but for some reason, when the challenge hit... (I can't speak for her) I froze. I panicked and felt as if I wouldn't be good enough... As if I didn't deserv

With courage comes peace

The title says it all... I've tackled some tough issues this week, and because of my courage to handle these issues, I have found a sense of peace. After Thursday, I felt overwhelmed and anxious. I didn't want Matt to go back to work and after he left, I crashed. Granted, I was very exhausted, so that probably played a big part in it, however, I fell into the darkness. I began to shake. I began to cry. I began to fall off the precipice I had been balancing on for the past several months. I was lonely. I was broken into a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle, and there was little to no chance I would be able to put myself back together. Matt called me and I snapped at him and hung up. I was angry at the situation, not him, but I took it out on him. It was wrong, and I realized that shortly after. I began to pour out my heart to him via text message. I told him how much I hated him being on third shift. How angry I was at how little he was making with all of the experience he has.
