I’m Getting Back on Track
Filed Under Events, Recovery, Thoughts, Treatment | Leave a Comment
Friday, Tamara went with me to see my case manager at Family and Children’s Services. I had to sign papers designating her as my treatment advocate. Tamara also wants to get an intake appointment for herself and wants me to be her treatment advocate. She thinks she may be bipolar as well and I think she may be right.
I told my case manager I want to get back into groups and counseling. She said before the counseling I need to have 3 appointments with her to discuss my recovery goals. She wanted me to think about what those goals are over the weekend and then come see her Monday afternoon.
I believe the number one thing I need to address is how the Jonathon situation has affected me. After a lot of thought I have come to the conclusion that the effects of the rape combined with the medication adjustment, cessation of marijuana consumption, and near-hostile living arrangement, and the return to work at Directv are the root causes of this episode. My secondary goals are to brush up on my coping skills; setting boundaries; and building healthy relationships.

Dan
Filed Under Guys, Thoughts | Leave a Comment
I find myself attracted to Dan. WTF? He is only 19 years old - that alone should be enough to deter me from pursuing anything with him, but it isn’t. I assumed he was 23 or 24 when I first met him and I still find it difficult to believe his true age. He’s more mature than many guys I’ve met my own age. I think of him as a man, not just another guy.
He has some great qualities: he is honest, loyal, funny, sweet, intelligent, creative, and trustworthy. To top it off, I’m physically attracted to him as well. He possesses every quality I look for in a potential boyfriend. I have yet to discover a major flaw… I’m waiting to see what is lurking.
The most negative thing I know about him thus far is that he has bipolar disorder as well, which in my opinion isn’t much of a negative. Bipolar disorder certainly sucks at times, and can make life a living hell for awhile, but it does not change a person’s core personality.
