Photography student. Long line of bipolar in my family. Just diagnosed on St Patrick's Day 2009. I hate this. I hate having bipolar. I thought for so long that I had dodged the bullet because I wasn't diagnosed and wanted to believe I was different. Out of control bipolar has damaged the lives and relationships of most of my family. I have been in a relationship with a loving and supportive man for almost a year now. I am not quite sure how I got so lucky but I did. Even when I'm a jerk he doesn't just give up on me. I love him so much and am thankful every second of ever day to have him in my life. He is one of few men I have dated who wasn't abusive to me in some way. I am pretty much settled in the fact that I have bipolar though, because I have kindof known for a long a time. I just didn't want to believe it. I look up to my cousin who has been dealing with his bipolar for about ten years. He still gets drunk every now and then but he is basically stable. He is a creative genius as far as music goes. He has also been in a relationship with a great woman for about 8 years now and they keep each other in line and happy at the same time, they are a great balance. So at least I know what it looks like to have it controlled and I look forward to the stability. Anyway though, other than my cousin no one else in my family has really been able to keep their bipolar under control so I am sailing through uncharted waters as far as my family goes. So, lets get to it!

i had a similar assault, don't blame yourself everyone slips up and and has a little too much to drink it's normal and not a crime, taking advantage of someone who is unconscious is not normal and is a felony, i also have a strong line of bipolar disorder in my family
I hope the rape thing went well
lol yeah.. you're right... but i can't quite figure out WHY i'm spending all this money. i'm not doing it for pay or anything.. is it worth it? Hell, it's only part of my grandiose ideas that i can do it professionally that convince me to buy this stuff in the first place
rentals? i didn't know you could do that! strobe lights? oh my... spending so much money on a hobby might make me feel bad.. :-( i did convince my husband to let me buy backdrops and a stand for them.. but now i even feel bad about that.. i'm just pretending i'm any good at all this :-(

May 29th I was raped while passed out at a friends house by that ex-friend. The police are currently investigating but I don't think they've gotten enough evidence to actually arrest and try the guy who did it.
