Eager Beaver
I had another date with Jeff last night. I’m not going to go into as much detail as usual. We started watching ‘Saw 2’ but we didn’t get very far into it. There is a very strong sexual attraction between us and it’s hard to keep our hands off each other. We had sex and it was great – like always. He is a man that is more concerned about pleasuring his lover than himself and he has a firm grasp on the benefits of foreplay.

Tori has been Released
The doctor downgraded my cousin’s status from critical condition last night. He discharged her completely a few hours ago. In my (not so humble) opinion, she should still be receiving inpatient services, but without medical insurance, the minimum level of care is the norm. She has become another unfortunate statistic.

Attempted Suicide
Today was a very long day. I spent most of it in the emergency room with my cousin, Tori. She tried to kill herself a little after 3am this morning.

Back to Work
Today was my first day back at work for almost four and a half months. It went well. The only thing I didn’t like is my new shift – 5am to 1:30pm. I’m a night owl by nature, so it will be difficult for me to adjust to this shift. However, I’ve done it before and I can do it again. I like my new team leader. She is laid-back and seems cool.
A couple of people on my new team have been members of other teams I’ve been on. Most of the ones that I haven’t met before are really friendly. I revealed my bipolar status to two of them. Considering what happened before perhaps I should be secretive about my illness, but I refuse to do that. It was the management that had a problem with my illness, not my co-workers. I have made it my mission to reduce the ignorance and stigma associated with mental illness. How can I do that if I hide my status from others? Additionally, it isn’t something I’m ashamed of anymore. I’m no longer worried about others’ judgments about me or my illness. I know the truth and that is what really matters.
