4th of Julie
July 4, 2008 difficult situations, holidays No CommentsToday is a huge holiday in the States. It can be a really fun holiday- but it can be a tough one as well!
- If you’re alone- look on meetin.org or craigslist see if you can find a group of people to meet for a fireworks show. It doesn’t hurt to try!
- If you’re like me and can’t stand the noise of fireworks and all of the crowds- leave early after you have said hi to everyone- or don’t go at all!
- It’s ok not to join in the party. It’s not like you’re getting paid for it! I always say that opting out is a good biploar disorder management technique!
I have two parties with friends today. I am going to sit and talk to people- when I get overstimulated- and i will- I’m not going to listen to the voices that tell me I’m not as good, skinny or rich as the people around me and I’m going to have fun.
Julie
this is pretty funny.. I just read the title and realize I write 4th of Julie instead of 4th of July. Don’t worry, I’m not a narcissist!
