Hey, y’all– Was just wondering if anyone out there has had ECT? Since I have been unable to break this depressed cycle of the bipolar, and there is no other medication out there for me to try, my psychiatrist wants me to have ECT. He has suggested it before, but I refused, because I was […]

Hey, y’all– Most of you, if not all, know that besides BP, I am also a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I just got back from an AA meeting, and wanted to share with you something I heard: This man had been in a horrible depression–so horrible, in fact, that at one point he could […]

Hey, y’all– For those who are new to this blog, I’ll just let you know the short of it: my sister Deb, the “twin of my heart”, who also had bipolar, at age 44, this past April, off her meds, killed herself. Her husband, Bill, who comments here at times, sent me a link to […]

Hey, y’all– I know I haven’t written for so long, and for that I apologize. Every day I have thought to write, but every day I procrastinated to the next, until it was a long stretch. So many bad things happened in a row…plus having been in a manic cycle in my last writing, obviously […]

Hey, Y’all– Been a little manic lately. Ok, alot manic lately. People used to call me a drama queen, but I think I got over that. Then they said I was addicted to chaos. Thought I got over that, but I guess it still follows me around all the time. Well, sometimes, anyway. This has […]

Hey, y’all– First I have to apologize (I do that alot, don’t I?)–every time I vow I am going to post more on here, I go back to hiding my head like an ostrich and keep from writing until I am feeling better, thus defeating the very purpose of this blog in the first place. […]

Hey, y’all– Please forgive me for my absence. I went in search of my mind. Unfortunately, all I found were bits and pieces. If any of you find it, I would appreciate its return. Today I feel as if I’ve been putting together a 1000 piece puzzle, only to get to the end of it […]

Hey, y’all– I was just on bipolarcentral.com, and saw what was written as the advertisement for this blog, and the part about my sharing the “ups and downs” of living with BP caught my eye. I tend to forget about that in the day to day part of this thing. I haven’t been on here […]

Hey, y’all–In the interests of honesty, I have to tell you about the day I had yesterday, because my last post was so upbeat and positive, and I didn’t want y’all to think I was just oh so perfect and you aren’t, or that I don’t have the same struggles that you have or anything […]

Hey, y’all–I wanted to tell you what happened to me the other day, because it has changed my life, and altered my thinking forever. I was driving down the main road to my house, letting my mind drift, and was actually feeling sorry for myself (yeah, like that’s a new thought!), when I saw what […]
