For anyone following my post. I am okay. I have had HIGHHHH STRESSS and been trying to work through it. I just can't focus other than work. Just trust me that I am working hard to get through this. And I will . As I have been telling my support systems....I am NOT going to let my bipolar symptoms win! Fuck You! So to say. Sometimes those are the best words :-)
Love to all!

I know, been so long!
Though I did check in with my CT chical! Soooo I am so good at creating drama.! I told my mom, at some point I will be so good at drama that it won't even affect me! Anyway, about a month ago (this was after the CT shooting at the elementary school) there was a Sheriff's Association meeting at the State Capitol Building. I guess the Sheriff of Mpls is the Sheriff of the National Sheriff's Association. Anyway = he held a press release about - get this - "Mental Illness and Extreme Gun Violence" Well you know that touched a nerve! And on Facebook, I often comment about my symptoms, when I need to go to the hospital or a safe place or whatever. Anyway - I was posting about this press release - and on that Thursday I posted about - let me ask you a safe question - because I am there (as in I am safe) and do you think that I would go do a mass killing or kill anyone just because I live with a mental illness? What is your theory? AND EVERYONE that I am friends with knew I was stating my political opinion and trying to make people think. Because we live with symptoms means nothing! When someone lives with another silent illness (diabetes, high blood pressure, etc) do you think they are dangerous? I just want to start dialogue to make people actually think.
ANYWAY - so one of my fb friends from work that I thought I could totally trust, - we have even gone out shopping - called my manager who then called the next level manager who then called HR. Totally out of control. Especially when I posted this question on my day off and on my own pc. And NEVER have I mentioned where I work because I know the rap that where I work has.
THey said yeah we know, freedom of speech, on your day off, etc etc. I said so yes, so why are you calling me? Oh and they said yes, someone may have taken it out of perspective. I said YES! So why are you calling me? No one else took it out of context.
So then I was supposed to go back on a Tuesday, then it stretched out to a Friday (and that is my day off so then it was a Monday) and since no one from where I work was telling me anything, I hired a lawyer. Then my company's legal system got in place. And next thing you know, I am going back to work. EXCEPT for the Monday because they had to "tie up loose ends". High level exec meeting with my team. And seriously, I don't care too much. This just cements for me even more that it is time to move on! I want to work for my former manager (who is female). And if I get a new job for her - I will be sending information to the CEO of where I work - they need Mental Health information sessions. Because that is also discrimination! And my lawyer had three laws they were not abiding by.
Which I assume is why they finally backed down. Luckily - one of the guys that reports to me, and goes to the same church as the CEO - stuck up for me and spoke for me - saying in the 16 years he has known me - there has never been any indication that I would ever do harm, and the while we don't always see eye to eye, we respect each other. And I even have a higher respect for him. Speak your mind - and if there is fall out - (as I think) I have remained steadfast in my beliefs. No matter what happens.
Praise Jeebus,
