Doing Well

I'm just writing to say hi. I haven't been involved here at TOOLS for awhile. I guess life is keeping me busy. I decided not to post when I'm feeling negative because I do not want to bring people down. It's a huge struggle because of my bipolar disorder to keep on an even keel, but »

Moving Out of My Comfort Zone

I've taken some risks this week. I attended a job fair for seniors 50+ yrs. The conference was crowded, and I felt a little overwhelmed. I didn't stay long, but I did pick up information on volunteer work online and some projects such as working with cats to be adopted. Another pro»

Functioning Well

Today I performed at a memorial service for a choir member who passed on. It was a moving service with speakers from the lady's family as well as her friends and associates. Apparently, she led an eventful life as an advocate for euthanasia and also for tenant's rights. She was a devoted mot»

Making Progress

I hope that everyone is having a nice holiday! This week I have my annual spring choir concert. We will be performing African-American spirituals which are very beautiful. We're going to have some professional singers as soloists so the concert should draw a big crowd. I've not bee»

Feeling Lonely

It's just after midnight (early Sunday morning). The weekends are always difficult for me as I'm alone. I live in a neighborhood with many young couples so I feel I stand out as an anomaly, I'm trying not to focus on what I don't have in life. Right now, I'm taking an essent»

Being Productive

I've been taking care of health concerns over the past few days. Last week I saw my primary care physician, my psychiatrist. Yesterday I had my teeth cleaned and today I will have my hair dyed. This is being done in preparation for a job interview with Good Temps which may consider me for job op»

Somewhat Bitter

Hi: I haven't written for a long time. I miss everybody because some of the members in TOOLS have been very kind to me. I've had a recent dashing of my dreams. I've stated in the intro to my profile that I have schizoaffective disorder. Recently, I went to a three week evaluati»

Musing

I haven't written for awhile. I don't like to write when I'm feeling angry or negative. For the last week or so I've been in a funk. Due to my mental illness, I still have trouble planning activities and being stable mood-wise. It's difficult to do the checklist althou»

Having a better day!

For a couple of days I was in a funk. My solo performance of "Moon River" did not go as well as expected. The accompaniest played the song in too low a key so I had some difficulty singing the bottom notes. Also, the audience that consisted mainly of elderly people were not responsive so I»
