I don't have a link handy to any articles, but Yes, it can definitely affect that.  Some meds (time release) I think are more vulnerable?

Topic: ~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
07/10 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
The Program is a road, not a resting place.  Before we came to The Program -- and, for some of us, many times afterward, -- most of us looked for answers to our living problems in religion, philosophy, psychology, self-help groups, and so on.  Invariably, these fields held forth the goals that were precisely what we wanted; they offered freedom, calm, confidence and joy.  But there was one major loophole: They never gave us a workable method of getting there.  They never told us how to get from where we were to where we were supposed to be.  DO I TRULY BELIEVE THAT I CAN FIND EVERYTHING THAT I NEED AND REALLY WANT THROUGH THE TWELVE STEPS?

TODAY I PRAY
May I know that, once through the Twelve Steps, I am not on a plane surface.  For life is not a flat field, but a slope upward.  And those flights of steps must be taken over and over and remembered.  May I be sure that once I have made them totally familiar to me, they will take me anywhere I want to go.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
The Steps are a road, not a resting place.

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.  ~Ursula K. LeGuin

Topic: Grateful Post..

Good Morning OH'ers.. IT'S FRIDAY ! !

Today I am grateful..

For smiles and cries..

For knowing that I need to get back to basics.. I got my blood work done and I am begging you to take your vitamins.. I am low on several key elements.. I have been feeling good and not worried about them but the tests tell me I have to worry about it now so please take your vitamins..

For Debra, that asked me to go get my blood work done after her health issues.. I love you..

For my job..

For things that make you realize just how blessed we really are.. I know that you have something to be grateful for so if you can read this and not have something to be grateful for you need to look deep inside you..

SONG OF THE WEEK
"ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY" BY KID ROCK

Only God Knows Why lyrics
I've been sittin here
Tryin to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin for the payback
Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me
And I feel like number one
Yet I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son
And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills it helps to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollar bills, but still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name
They say it way out loud
A lot of folks fu@k with me
It's hard to hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay
To be some big shot like I am
Out strecthed hands and one night stands
Still I can't find love

And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around

Yeah
As it...hey

And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around

People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the **** that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
No I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin
I've been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep a walking
With my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why

Only God
Only God
Only God knows why, why, why, why
Only God...knows...why, why, why
Only God knows why
Take me to the river edge
Take me to the river, hey hey hey

Please check out about.com's bipolar forums.  There are a lot of folks there who will understand exactly what you are going through.

I've been a member there for about 7 years and have gotten so much help there.

I TOTALLY understand what you are going through. My dad was the same way. It took me almost killing myself to get him to realize that I was sick and needed help. Not saying that is the ancwer to your problem, but it normally takes something big for them to realize that it is real and it isnt something stupid, or you could just pray it away (I'm still personally having problems with my grandparents who still want me to smile and everything is better or pray it away. But they also have their "nerve" pills). I have no clear cut ancwer for you. Just know that if you need to talk you can message me anytime and I will be there.

Just take a deep breath and blow it all off.  People will always try to sabotage you because they are not happy with their lives.  Concentrate on you and what you want and don't worry about what anyone else says, does or thinks!  You are an awesome person and I hope you get your surgery going soon!  Keep in touch lady!  Huge hugs to you!

"Just keep doing whats best for you cuz in the end its all that matters"......amen to that!!!!!!   You have definitely come to the right place for support...you won't find criticism here, only understanding and caring fellow WLSers.  Although I am mainly a 'lurker' here, I have gotten to know many wonderful souls out here who sincerely care about each and every one of us.  Do not allow your father to discourage you from getting healthier....please!  Have a blessed day!  ~Debra~
