Just a few ups and downs with my leg but back at work tommorrow. Just taking each day as it comes and staying positive. Thanks for caring
You know we always have to bite the bullett as the old age saying goes at times.It is a good decision for you and little dude. How's he going, still lighting up your life.
Bite the Bullet, thats a great saying that I have not heard in a while. just like "put the pedal to the metal", both of these I will be trying to use more, it throws off the more "mature" or aged people I communicate with... since I shaved my head and facial hair, I at times look about 12 LOL , yes I am easily entertained these days
Ther'e great sayings aren't they You know I'm nearly 55 and feel 18 inside, So i go as the title of a re-cyled teenager / At least your entertainment comes cheap lol. By the way how old are you if you don't mind me asking.
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Borderline Personality Disorder and if there are any suggestions on how to help a person that has it. My daughter has been diagnosed with it and depression and I am currently reading a book on it. She was hospitalized several months ago and has been put in a treatment center where she sees a psychiatrist, a therapist and is also getting DBT skills training which is really interesting. I finally get it and am starting to understand why my daughter is the way she is, which is helping me somewhat. Not going to lie, somedays I do all the right things and other days, I feel totally worn out and frustrated. Has anyone dealt with this and is there a possibility it will get better? I noticed validating her feelings does help a lot. She started off with depression after the break up with her boyfriend, was hospitalized recently, and is really having a tough time.
