I have to start out with this. I've stopped adding people as friends for now and have had to reduce my list. I just can't handle the time it takes to keep close friendships going. I'm and artist and musician married to a wonderful man. We have 6 children and 3 grandchildren combined from previous marriages. My son and father are also bi-polar. I've been on a disability pension for 11 years now due to my illness. I'm not sure if it's the disease, but I only have the ability to create art or music and don't seem able to do both during the same period. Frustrating at times, but I'm learning to accept it and appreciate my separate gifts.

Hi Sally! Please read my new journal . I really do understand. Hard dealing with anger but good to find acceptance and move on. Hope I sleep better tonight and that you do too. love & peace, Toshie Working at the serenity prayer today.
Thank you! :)
Thanks Sally! It has been one of those days when things just didn't go so well. But life goes on and tomorrow is a new day. I had issues with anger too and it has alot to do with not being able to control a situation. Yeah, first step again.Owning my anger and trying to talk through it helps alot. Doesn't always change things but it does allow me to see the choices in a bad situation. Heck I was even able to laugh about it. That is new behavior for me. Hope you are doing well? love & peace friend!
Read your journal and commented...hang in andhang on sweetie! xxxxSandra
Here have a chocolate. If you want to talk even if its just to vent let me know.
I'm bi-polar as well as having a son and father who are bp as well. I'm happy to see that there is support here for family and friends as well as educational links so we can all understand the illness. Feel free to check out my full story on the bp support group
