It's Thursaday. What an incrediable week it's been! I wish I could say it was all good, but it hasn't been. I've wanted so badly to get in more exercise in the way of walks, but it just hasn't happened. I've been busy trying to deal with my daughters health instead, and meetings with my local council. When it comes to mental health, I wish I was in America, as I"m sure my daughter is bipolar. In Australia, they won't do anything until she has a manic episode bad enough to land her in hospital. Being suicidal doesn't count. She is so level headed and sensible, but when she gets sick, she becomes irrational, like last week when she wanted to go and sleep in the park to stop herself killing herself. She is 16. I don't want to wait for her to be in a coffin or in the psych unit before they take us seriously! She tried an anti-depressant for the first time about 4 weeks ago, but it sent her high. Her G.P. is trying to help, but all he can do is to refer her on, and thats where we get stuck. I shouldn't be saying it all here; this is for weight loss, but I have to have somewhere to let my frustration out and this place is a safe place, because no-one knows me. I get too tired to cook properly, thats half my problem. And this heat doesn't help. Oh, for a nice cool day! Hopefully, tomorrow the sun will come up and I will see the daisys instead of the weeds!
