    • About Me

      My name is Kathy or Kat. I'm a 29 year old who is married for two years. I am currently grieving a miscarriage. I have been diagnosed with bipolar 2, GAD, and panic disorder. *Not currently accepting friend requests from anyone who is not BP* I love listening to music, playing piano, and reading. I've just finished reading the Sookie Stackhouse series - the ones True Blood is based on. I am now reading the Cassie Palmer and Psychic Eye series.

      From CrazyTink Today

      "Who would notice if you were gone?" Well, let's see, I do believe that many of us would not only notice but we would be very distraught if you were gone. I for one kept looking for any posts from you this week in case you had a chance to get online in Mont. I am not sure I would know what to do without you to talk to. I sure hope you feel better this weekend, IM me if you want. TINK
