About Me
I'm bipolar and struggle with it every day of my life. Some days are mountain tops and other days are hell. But it helps to know that I'm not the only one on this journey and if I can help someone along the way, than that's what I'm here for. I'm also the mother of two wonderful kids, a 13yr old son who is ADHD and a 5yr old daughter who keeps me on my toes. I'm blessed to have a supportive husband who accepts me and the challenges I bring. I love life and the people around me -- most days anyway :)

Hug
Glad u got out and went to parade, sounds like u had a good time with the kids. I know what ya mean about not fitting in though, feel that way most of the time. I guess its part of not being a so called "normie" Its just so hard being a beeper, I feel like I have to pretend so others don't know, and I hate being stigmatized. Part of it is internal, but when my instructor referred to psych pts. she referred to them as "those people" and that really pissed me off. Hope all is well with u and hope u have a nice weekend! hugs,tedi
