I'm a huge fan. It's really helped me with my depression and has taught me how to change negative thought patterns and how to chill out during a panic attack.Kyle Cranstonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009860819941699236.post-66978160050382223212011-10-12T19:31:25.924-07:002011-10-12T19:31:25.924-07:00girl! i so appreciate having someone else who get...girl! i so appreciate having someone else who get's all of this! and i've actually had a strong urging that i should connect with another gal with bipolar for accountability in the Lord. something you'd be interested in?Luannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009860819941699236.post-86452348922463028012011-10-12T14:13:29.642-07:002011-10-12T14:13:29.642-07:00I spent a lot of time with my pediatrician as a ki...I spent a lot of time with my pediatrician as a kid, so much so all the nurses in the large hmo building knew my mom and I by first name, and we knew thiers too. So when I had to "grow up" and go to a new doctor I was crushed. Because, well my new doctor didn't believe me that my asthma was that bad and would not write an rx for all my meds, cause I could "just call him if I needed it" cause you know when you have a lack of oxygen making a phone call, then waiting for a new rx to be called in, then go pick it up, then bring it home, pour it into a machine, and pray you have not yet died during this process sounds great right? YIKES! But then, when I had Serena I went back to see my old pediatrician as her dr, and do you know what? She asked how I was doing, and gave me some great tips on how to manage my allergies and asthma. It was nice to see a dr who cares, and who didn't need me to run down my list of hospital stays and 5000 meds that failed before she will believe me and listen. So I can relate, and I am really sorry you had to lose a good doctor; they truly are a treasure. I'll be praying for you to find a dr who is as fabulous and caring as you are friend! And someday when you are "crazy preggers" you will have one lucky little baby in your belly!Katnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009860819941699236.post-60401279493700583972011-10-12T10:15:36.353-07:002011-10-12T10:15:36.353-07:00oh Luanne -- you are always SO encouraging! it war...oh Luanne -- you are always SO encouraging! it warms my heart. its wonderful to know that there are amazing people like you out there who can relate and lift up!! have a happy day!Jenn Laffertyhttp://www.crazyismysuperpower.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009860819941699236.post-38041071740169861302011-10-12T10:13:56.203-07:002011-10-12T10:13:56.203-07:00you make me laugh!! thank you for your encourageme...you make me laugh!! thank you for your encouragement and prayers! xo!Jenn Laffertyhttp://www.crazyismysuperpower.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009860819941699236.post-36449539971245748982011-10-12T08:51:03.339-07:002011-10-12T08:51:03.339-07:00i hear ya girl. and all of your 'wantings'...i hear ya girl. and all of your 'wantings' for your doctor are not wrong. they do matter hugely to the process. wanted to affirm you on that. and yes, there is a delicate balance to thinking ahead (preggers) and living in the now... especially when you are dealing with bipolar and how we, shall i say, 'fluctuate' . want to high five you on not settling for the doc who wanted to add 3 meds straight away. this whole process is no small thing, and i encourage you to continue to learn through it, as you are doing :)Luannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009860819941699236.post-24167057456224214562011-10-12T08:11:21.926-07:002011-10-12T08:11:21.926-07:001) you should totally go in there with a cape on u...1) you should totally go in there with a cape on under your clothes and just let her know upfront how awesome you are.
