We Quit Cigarettes

[ShrekDawg]

This sounds so familiar, Tessie. I'm bipolar. I didn't get a diagnosis till I was in my 40's although I knew something wasn't right way back in my teens. Battled that suicide thing even way back then. Finally got some help then, in my 40's. Took about two years to find the right meds. I'm in my 60's now and stable. These last 20 years have been the best years of my life. Not the easiest, but the best, because I finally feel I have control over ME. Some of those years have been a chaotic mess, lol, but I no longer feel I am losing my mind, and that's worth something! Get help whenever and however you can, Kiddo. It's worth it. YOU'RE worth it!

Promise?
I just spoke to the ginger, he wants to help me look for one. No backsies now I guess.

It will be good!

We learned about Maxi pads in middle school health class.

We learned about the birds and the bees, pads, smoking, drugs, and I'm probably forgetting something

It's real when you tell someone else...in real life...not BYC.
Ask me how I know.

True!! I finally had a talk with my dad last month and said I wanted to see one and asked him to call for me and he did the next day (it was pretty late at night at the time lol). So glad. Online friends are great, you guys are all crazy supportive, just look at this thread, but having someone real, physically there, holding you accountable is definitely very helpful and important.

Like a real baby or!?

We literally had an egg we had to carry around!

We had to make a little carrier for it and everything and we had to carry it around everywhere!! I think it was supposed to be outside school too but most just carried it in school haha but we had to carry it to al loud classes and everything. A literal egg. it was a long time too like a few weeks I think. I think they eventually switched to dolls haha but if you broke it or tried to switch eggs or whatever you lost points haha
