So true indeed. I went to the grocery store yesterday, and at the checkout, the bagger lady was telling the clerk that her son had an inoperable brain tumor and was saying his goodbyes to all his family.

Yes, I too can deal with my “teeny tiny bipolar thing” after that.

(Think God is trying to tell me something with all these “coincidental run-ins” with people worse off than me?)

The risks in pregnancy should I choose to do so again and all the hassle with coordinating with doctors on top of the gestational diabetes I always get. <br/><br/>But at least I don't have a more serious condition like schizophrenia (sp?).

Like being bipolar. Yes, it was a shock, the actual diagnosis confirming my fear. The having to go on medication for the rest of my life. The risks in pregnancy should I choose to do so again and all the hassle with coordinating with doctors on top of the gestational diabetes I always get.

But at least I don’t have a more serious condition like schizophrenia (sp?). And at least there is medication that can help, I can live a normal life and don’t need tons of intervention. And at least I can get pregnant, where some of my friends can’t.

I think I can live with my teeny tiny bipolar thing… :-)
