Blog Subject:  Our dog "is gone"
Our 3 year old dog was quarantined for 10 days for biting a 14 year old on the lips. It was two small teeth marks, one on the upper lip and one small bite mark on the lower lip. She has healed and is fine. She will be sad to know he was put down.

It was a decision I felt was being a "responsible" decision for me to have to do. My heart didn't want to, but I knew that it needed to be done. It's very hard to go into full detail how I feel and how things were with him. He was a very good dog, but ever since he bit the one 12 year old girl we noticed that he had become aggressive and not easy to control. My daughter, his owner, would tell me that he had become an evil dog because when her friends were here he would get aggressive and she had to lock him up. After this quarantine at home, his quality of life would never be the same because he would mostly, if not always have to be locked up for fear of him biting someone else. Our home would not be safe for other people, including us, my kids especially. I would leave the house in fear that he would bite them if they aggravated him for one reason or another. We loved him very much. No matter if he had bit people, you still love your pet. But it was a decision that needed to be made by me. He went peacefully. But when the vet listened for his hearbeat, and said "he's gone" it broke my heart in pieces to see him gone in my daughter's arms. But he went peacefully without any pain. For the safety of others and also for his quality of life (being locked up all the time), I know that was the right thing to do. But it is a very sad time for our family.

We miss you sweetheart. I know you are in Puppie (Doggie) heaven and I am sure you are free to run and be free of ever hurting anyone or of being locked up. Being locked up all the time is not fair to you either. We love you and we treasure all the time you spent with us bringing joy to our family. Your life means the world to us. Goodbye.

Blog Subject:  Enjoying Today; Feeling Great!
It's Wednesday, September 6th. I feel great. Nothing can ruin my day. Nothing. I feel in total control of my life. Sometimes I feel unhappy or unstable and unwell. But that is not the case today. So I'm going to enjoy today by listening to my most favorite music. :D

Blog Subject:  New post since a long while
It's been forever since I've posted. My mood is stable thanks to my good doctor and to the medication, Vraylar. The beginning of this year, I was going downhill pretty fast in my mood. Feeling very depressed because I was getting off of Abilify (with doctor's permission) and I started a new drug so it took some time for the change to go through and work. It's always like this. I feel I must be completely stable before I make this kind of change. This happened when I got off of lithium. I had to have an increase in Abilify at that time to make up for it. Now I'm stable and all is good.

Life, well, life is life. What can I say. Busy. Hardly any facebook for me. I closed my other account and opened a new one and only go on there when I want to show pictures of my family to share with friends and family, but mostly I keep to myself these days when sharing anything on there. I still get triggered a lot. My emotions take over and I can't help feeling the way I feel. So I do myself the favor and just stay away most days. A lot of people or rather, most people in my life do not know I have bipolar. (I have bipolar I) and I believe it is one reason my mood is affected so easily at times. I keep to myself mostly. I tend to stay at home and deal with my moodiness and others don't really know (and I don't want them to know) how my moods affect my daily life. I've experienced a lot of anxiety lately and have needed to take my p.r.n. med, diazepam. It helps and I only take it when needed. I know already that it's there for when I need it. That's it for today. I can't believe it's been so long since I posted on here. 8)

Blog Subject:  continued mood diary
Well, that stability is being tested right now. I have been feeling a slight low mood, especially today.

Blog Subject:  Mood
8 months of stability. I won't be derailed if that changes.

This is something of a mood diary for myself. Went to see psychiatrist and therapist. Both visits went well. Got my new prescriptions and won't see therapist for another 5 months. That's a long time. She felt 4 or 5 months was a good time frame to see her again. I am fine with that.

Mood-wise, everything is going well.
