CrackedGirl, thanks! That's really nice of you... Yes it counts And the gig went really well, it was our first time playing in that venue. I hope they ask us to play there again.

Supersta, nice to hear from you... Glad you are enjoying my blog... I sing in an acoustic trio band, two guitars, myself singing and one of the guitarists sings too sometimes.

Evol, that is such a lovely and comforting message from you. Thank you so much! And on the singing... I always say everyone can sing, it's just a matter of how well Sing your heart out even if you don't think you are that good, you will still enjoy it just as much!

Hey, LW!
Sorry I've been off here for a while, but read this and wanted to tell you that your experience with others being kind really resonated with me. When I was in the hospital two years ago after a really bad bout of depression I did a lot of reading about how we each put out a "vibe," so to speak... that if we exude negativity, what we attract is negativity; if we exude positivity, we attract positivity. I made a concerted effort to not be so negative all the time and without me even knowing it I changed the energy I was putting out there... random people would walk up to me in a shop and strike up a conversation; a kind stranger retrieved my parking pass after I'd left it somewhere; a lady stopped me as I was packing my trunk after shopping and marvelled at my organized trunk. Whether I realized it or not, I'd actually managed to switch from putting out negativity to putting out a more positive vibe and complete strangers suprised me time after time with their random words and acts of kindness to me. So don't think you're somehow nuts for your experience of the lady being kind to you... I think it really speaks to how you must be not coming across in a negative light to random people in public.... keep it up!! Each time a stranger says or does something nice for me, I take it as validation that I'm continuing to exude positive energy... which is GREAT!!

On another note, my pdoc swapped me off resperidol and gave me Seroquel "as needed" at night to better combat the racing thoughts and insomnia. I'm on a ridiculously low dose, but I do notice the difference... it actually works. One thing I have been keen on is watching the side effects. So far I see that it does increase my appetite, and leaves me a little sluggish when I first wake. In the thread we were posting on you were saying that you're in a manic phase... how is the Seroquel helping?

So sorry to hear about your court case... I'm sure that has impacted your mood and sleep. Keep your chin up and let me know how it goes!

I got goosebumps reading that.
