How are you today? Just wanted to drop you a line to say how amazing you are at providing support and you always seem to have just the right words which help, make sense and make light of any problem.
A lot of people have mentioned that they might consider writing. I am a member of www.urbis.com an online forum for writers my site name is hypatia and I have made a lot of good internet friends there. You can post your work and receive and give reviews it is a good way to learn writing skills and share you thoughts with other. Or just somewhere to have a good read.
I hope you doing great today! And I am so glad that yes! this works! Now if we can just catch up with the others and get them here we will never have to loose contact again!
Thank you so much for the kind words, for some reason I feel like it is my "mission" in life to try to help all I can with my past experiences, although I must admit that some touch my heart more than others. And I suppose you can guess who most of them are. It is the way something is written that touches my heart and makes me want to reach out and try to help them. It is like I can feel their pain or something.
I do have a couple of others that I stay in contact from the blog. They are Heaven and Nightlady. Heaven is mostly a suicidal mess and doesn't know what she is actually diagnosed with and can't seem to find a decent psych. Her relatives are very cruel to her and I like to think that by being her friend I have helped her from attempting suicide again, as she has done many times previously. She lives with her 70 something Mother who calls the cops if she suspects her daughter has taken a bunch of pills.
Nightlady's boy friend is in the hospital right now still in a Manic Episode. This is her 1st experience with a person having a Manic Episode and it seems like the world is working against as she is struggling to get her lover back to stable again. I try to offer words of encouragement to both of them.
My daughter calls me the world's mother. I used to kind of counsel some of her friends who were a mess. Sometimes I got thru and sometimes I didn't. I am not educated to do this or anything like that but I figure if I can help someone else with my past experiences with pain then my life is worthwhile.
I must admit I am purely amazed by all of the good friends I have made because of David and his blog. I always thought Bi-polar would only bring pain to me, but that is no longer the case!
Anyways, I am going to go to the forum as soon as I get off this blog and check it out. It sounds very interesting.
Take care and I will chat with you soon. Big hugs right back at you!!
Hi guy hope you are doing fine thanks for the invitation I got a lot of experience by been arround people with BP,it is facinating to meet new people and be prepared to deal with them. thanks againg
Hi Marco113: Welcome and Thank you for joining the Friends of BP blog. Please feel free to express yourself here as we do not judge and we try to support each other through the tears and the happiness associated with Bi-polar Disorder. I have Bi-polar and so does my husband and my daughter. My daughter and I are also Bi-polar supporters as we watch in each other for the early warning signs of a manic episode. My husband says it is only a bad temper so my daughter and I watch out for him too. It is funny how we can see the manic Episode getting started with others but not within ourselves. Bi-polar can be devastating or we can become stable and create great happiness by becoming stable. But it is a horrible and unpredictable disorder. Anyways, welcome to the blog!
Just lately although I have been taking my meds, getting the right sleep etc I have felt so well, not the scary high that makes me jump for my extra pills.
Because of feeling so well I bought interview clothes, approached my old boss for a job, tackled a very involved legal matter, volunteered for the samaritans, started a detox diet. Agreed to advice a friend on their finances. And tons of other stuff. I could do anything including singing at the top of my voice down the street.
Yesterday morning my mum, partner and daughter all said you are going manic. No, I am not I confidently replied as I always fear fear when manic.
That afternoon I felt the fear, broke down, thoughts too fast, tears, feelings of not coping, uselessness and elation all at once. I took my added tranqs straight away I am still high but not losing my mind type of high. When in hospital before I was given this high dose of tranqs and still felt high. Why is it that a BP person high does not feel sedated when sedated. This illness always surprises me you think you have it figured out warning signs etc and then bam you dont.
A big hug to the world and my friends. Love Tanya :-)
Oh my Dear Friend Tanya: How are you now? I was so sure you were going into a manic Episode, but Praying that you were not. I am glad that you have a real good back up team. Do not ever feel like you are eating humble pie. We all know how unpredictable Bi-polar is and I only knew of 2 of the things you had taken on! I should have been better help for you because I knew were you were headed, I just didn't know how fast! And the reason a person in Manic Episode can take tranqs without feeling sedated is basically the same thing as giving a hyper active kid stimulants to slow him down. You let your mind get going so fast that it hasn't noticed that you took something to slow it down, but it will, eventually. Please let me know that you are ok! XXX I have been so worried about you!

Hi,
It's time to eat humble pie.
Just lately although I have been taking my meds, getting the right sleep etc I have felt so well, not the scary high that makes me jump for my extra pills.
