see now this is when I would say, "you gotta get you some chill pills girl, so you can sleep" you remind me of me at your age... it was scary.. but once I got a pretty good grip on it, after years... and years... everything's been pretty much ok.. all the ups and downs... oh it sucks... and much of it is hormonal, at least that's what I've always thought, for reasons I won't get into. I do like this drawing though also.. you should see some of the weird stuff I drew at your age. :) If I ever dig it out of my closet from hell I will show you.

Well, I like the whole idea of my drawing, but I don't like the flower. I'm much better at flowers on paper. I was drawing on myself with an orange sharpie last night at the lock in. So it ended up kinda like this. It was one of those clicky sharpies. Makes me giggle.

Dude, I didn't even take my medication last night because my mom told me not to, because I would've crashed at like ten and that would've been no fun for anyone. x.d;; But I stayed up all night and bugged people in their sleep. xD

Honey, you need to get some sleep. I know it's hard (I remember being up for three days. freaked me out so much I went to a doctor and all he could do was say, let it happen naturally. actually fell asleep that night. my problem was I was afriad if I fell asleep I'd never wake up again. freaked me the hell out) And, I know your mom means well but she isn't a professional (not that there are any out there really :}) You should always take your meds, that's what they're there for. The few times I never took mine, well I kinda went loopy. If they help by stabalizing you, then take them. And I would think your mom would want her kid to be asleep at an early hour. But if it's that big a hassle take it just when your about to go to bed, then slowly let it zonk you out naturally. That's how I take mine. (and good you kept everyone up, maybe that will teach her a lesson or two)

As for this, I like it. It has a pop art, perfume ad feel to it. I agree the flower could be cleaner. I always tell people to take advantage of the bezier tool, especially if your using a mouse. You can get the most amazing curves, it's like working with French Curves, specialty tools artists and architects use. Go back and try doing the flower and stems using the bezier, and don't neglect the line, circle and square tool. Amazing what one can create from such simple things.

Whats with you people and meds? What meds do you take?
Cool draw btw!

My anti-crazy pills. 8}

hahahahahahahahahahaha.

I wish I never had to take them, but everything happens for a reason I guess... I take the whole crazy thing as a compliment reallly but it gets on my nerves an awful lot too the stigma attached to it.. and meds to me are better than self medicating with booze or other things.... it took me many years to realize that, but it's true. They HELP your brain, not kill it. Side effects blow though.

Hmm, not a big fan of medical sleephelpers, so, this is a silly sleep tip. Whenever I can't sleep, I just go to bed, turn of the light and tv (duh) and make lists in my head. You know A-B-C lists, An ABC list on cities in the world or specified by country. Or names, fruit/veg, animals, whatever. I know it sounds daft, and probably doesn't work if you need meds to calm you down or so. But it works for me. Rarely reach the letter Q.
And why wouldn't your mom want you in bed by ten. That is a perfectly natural bedtime if you ask me, specially for a 13 yr old.
Mind you, it is 2.08 am over here right now and I'm not sleeping. Very unnatural for me, have a stupid annoying dry cough that's irritating me, so I stepped out of bed, not to wake up my boyfriend. Gonna try again in a minute tho.
(maybe too much info)

well I don't just take 'em for sleep, I gotta take 'em in the morning and night, to each their own, I'm not trying to push anything on anyone
all natural is wonderful too, just too late for that for me, in some ways

I have to take mine at night, they're not a sedative, but they have the effects of one. If I take mine during the day I wouldn't be able to drive, use big machinery or fly a 747. Ya know, normal stuff. :DDDDDDD

yeah, I don't drive, big machinery, I dunno... never tried it lol Flying a 747? lol wouldn't even consider it, but I'd take a ride in one
I'm glad I don't drive. We could go back to horse and buggy and I'd be happy. ;)
personally, I'm good with just being a mom and a daughter and a sister and a cousin and a niece, and an aunt and a stepsister, etc......, thanks ;)

I take my mood stabilizers for being bi polar at night and they help me sleep, because when you don't sleep, it makes your bi polar symptoms even worse, my doctor says. And then I take my anti depressants in the morning. But thats about it, besides my vitamin, omega 3 and inhaler.

your dr. is right, been there done that for 20 years... you know the symptoms right? so pay attention to them, and bring them to your dr.s attention whenever possible... it took me years to accept that and still even on meds I have breakthroughs...
it's not easy to deal with, by far.. and it's time people like so and so and so and so stopped calling us crazy and take a look at themselves for even saying something like that. People are born with this crap, I believe that, and we can't help that. But if you are like us and don't help yourself, you're gonna hear it from "normal" people.... "normal" people who don't take meds. to control their craziness.
k I'm done with my little anti anti crazy people speech, thank you.... bows.
we're not the only people on Earth who do crazy crap every dang day, so :P

The thing of it is, the ones who call us crazy usually show the very symptoms that they call us out for. Kettle, this is the pot, your black.

It's as much an illness as cancer, but the stigmatism is still there even after all these years. Why the hell do you think Van Gough cut off his friggen ear?

I know it huh? And why do you think I'm half deaf again, like I was when I was a child? 'Cause my grandmother died, and I couldn't relax easily.. so I took a bath and dunked my head under water and bam... haven't been able to hear right since. Same thing happened as a child, with water, but not in all the years in between. And it's a blessing in disguise! I don't WANT to hear as much BS as I'm used to hearing anyway!
'night
Happy New Year sweeting.

And you honey. And God bless us every.......

Ah, you know the rest.

Happy New Year!

I wish I was deaf. Wouldn't have to listen to stupid shit, but then again, I couldn't listen to my music... x.d;;
