Sunday
Hi,
Welcome to "Life with Jessi." I am 30-something years old, live in the Midwest, and I'm Bi Polar and have ADD. I want to keep a blog going to help other people understand the day-to-day struggles of all the highs and lows of being Bi Polar and the concentration issues with having ADD. I just started a business a week ago and will fill you in on how I manage to deal with the situations that come my way with that and everything else in my life. I will try to write something each day. If I get in a low, you may not hear from me in a while. If I'm on a high (kind of like I am now) you may hear a couple pages from me. lol
I'll walk you through my moods and explain the very best I can of what it feels like to be on a high or a low. Or even both at the same time. A "mixed state." Hopefully you'll be able to relate to what I'm saying and not feel so alone, or maybe it will give you a better understanding for someone in your life and you'll have empathy for them.
I am on 4 different kinds of medications and I'm in counseling. I've been in legal trouble and was in the legal system for the past 9 years. Couldn't leave the state, go hunting (carry a gun), drink alcohol (that didn't bother me because I don't drink anyways), and I had to meet with people twice a month to check in. I'm unemployed and on disability. I started this business so I can hopefully be independent one day soon.
If you have any questions or comments for me, please post it on this site or if it's personal, please contact me at lifewithjessi@gmail.com whenever you'd like. I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as possilble. Take care and thank you for joining me on my adventure in life. :)
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Empathy and sympathy are 2 very different things. Empathy is having understanding, sympathy is feeling sorry for someone. People like me need empathy, not sympathy.
