I've been looking through the archives and finding some of my old posts. I was pretty darn unstable! One minute I'm writing about ending things, the next I'm joking and having a blast. Am I still like that? Have I changed?
Am I better now? I'm really bad at judging these things for myself.

I think you are doing much better now as well :-)
I think... The medication really helps you out.
But of course you have been doing a lot of hard work too :-)
It can be like how... Getting a good nights sleep can help us regulate our emotions / behaviour... But we still have to work at it...
Meds can help us regulate our emotions / behavoiur... But we still have to work at it...
I think you have been doing really well lately :-)
Up and down a bit... But then who the hell doesn't do that a bit?>

Mee too. :-) Compared to a while ago, I think I'm doing a lot better. I used to have an ever present secret and sometimes not so secret desire to kill myself. Right now it's completely gone.

> But of course you have been doing a lot of hard work too :-)I don't remember what I was taking or not taking during my bad times. I don't know what has helped me, but I do know that if I stay this way, then I think it's safe to assume the meds are helping. I don't think I've ever been stable for more than 4 months at a time.
I don't think I get enough therapy right now for it to make a big difference. I'm not sure that I agree with you that I've been working hard. If I am I'm not sure how I've been working hard.
Whatever the reason, I like not blowing up on the boards every two weeks. :-)

From memory... You tended to be going through a 'medication doesn't help me so I'm not going to take it' phase... So you would stop taking it... And deteriorate.

:-)
I think it is fairly safe to assume that already.
:-)> I don't think I get enough therapy right now for it to make a big difference.
It doesn't have to be about quantity so much...
It probably is helping in a way :-)> I'm not sure that I agree with you that I've been working hard. If I am I'm not sure how I've been working hard.
Ah. I guess I was mostly worried that... You might be thinking of stopping your meds to prove how hard you had been working ;-).
You are doing well. You are. I think you should take some credit for that. You have been working hard. The * system on checking your posts is a terrific idea :-) And even more important than terrific ideas... Is taking the time and spending the effort on implementing them :-)
> Whatever the reason, I like not blowing up on the boards every two weeks. :-):-)
That is great :-)
