Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I`m the greatest person I know.
I -- er -- um -- oh, I`m no good at this!
I am dramatic and dark and oh so ANGSTY.
I`m fierce and opinionated.
Oh, my! I`m crazy! Hey, nonny, nonny! Do the Dew!
2 What`s your view on relationships?
I like everything to be wild and passionate and crazy. Oh yeah. Like me.
Oh, I could never live without the person I`m stalk -- er, dating.
I really wish I had the guts to talk to the opposite sex more often.
Oh, love! Love is a many splendoured thing! Love lifts us up where we belong!
Pfft. It`s so damn difficult to find someone up to my level. I`m just too damn great.
3 A train is coming from Spokane at 60 miles an hour. Another train is coming from Butte at 50 miles an hour. What do you like to do for fun?
I argue about politics. And philosophy. Not like it matters.
By the time I decide, the day`s always done.
I like dancin` an` singin` and playin` and ... oh, everything!
I daydream of insane things.
Oh, visiting graveyards, writing bad poetry -- the same old.
4 Do you even like poetry, you jackass?
It`s great to write for other people.
Oh, yes. It can be so romantic!
Yep! I love playing fast and loose with words!
Only if it sufficiently relates to me.
Only if it`s the brilliant stuff *I* write!
5 Sex?
Male!
Female!
Please!
Love?
Sure, but good luck being as good as me. I`ve had a lot of -- er -- practice.

7 You see a bunch of big kids beating up a smaller kid. The smaller kid is probably a nerd. What a loser. What do you do?
Laugh maniacally!
Leave `em alone. Doesn`t matter anyway.
Sh*t happens.
Oh no! Poor kid! I`ll help him!
I don`t know! What is this, a freakin` morality test?
8 Finally (yes, finally!), where would you like to take a vacation? Graceland is NOT allowed.
Pssh. I`m spending my vacation time lying on my butt with me, myself, and I.
I wanna kiss the Blarney Stone!
Paris. In the moonlight. With those violin dudes playing. Mmm.
The beach!
Somewhere interesting -- like an old gothic castle!

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
"You know I've been stalking you for three years now, don't you think for once we could go somewhere that I like?"
I guess your first question is who is the woman behind the curtain?
1. shy, scared, angry, perfectionist who is also full of confidence on the right day...
2. relationships... I LOVE LOVE LOVE my husband. We are soulmates. He accepts and i think LIKES the fact that I am attracted to women too. He knows I am monogamous, and that is all that matters. We love each other and respect each other. I've never had that before! I would love to have friends, but it is so hard to meet people who like me for me.
3. For fun... program rpg game for the blind, play my guitar, watch tv on the internet, write, listen to audiobooks, learn
4. Poetry... I've been accused of being a "Plath Hack". I LOVE poetry. I love to analyze poetry. I guess I may be a plath hack, but I was writing like her before I learned about her and read her stuff. I LOVE the panther in a cage poem... that is what I feel like sometimes in this body of mine...
I haven't been inspired in a while... I hope to write more again soon...
5. sex...
I'm just beginning to explore the topic...
I used to be extremely repressed... just now I am able to admit my past and desires. Abuse leaves and angry mark to this day, one that I hope to blot out with the help of my gentle husband ;) He has helped me much already.
6. I pick creativity... I want MORE! MORE! MORE! I'm not creative enough!
7. I go off on the bullies with a voice of a lioness protecting her young and then I talk to the kids like I am thier own mothers and they run off with thier heads hung down in shame! Then I help doctor up the poor nerds scratches with my magical anti-bacterial/benzocaine spray and tell him to come to me if those kids every bother him again!
8. Do I have to choose? Two places: DisneyWorld with my children, and to Scarborough Castle to see my husband's family's namesake in history (he is a Scarborough) and I would like to play Scarborough Faire on my guitar there and record it for a concert!
No you are not nuts! unless I am too, or you are being eaten by squirrels!

just a note:
My mania exploded when I had to go in and get a court order of protection against my neighbor who's been off his raping and murdering rocker since he stopped taking his meds a few months ago. So I got a bottle of Australian Merlot and drank the entire thing. Not a good decision!
I wish I never peeped behind the curtain :D
have you hugged your horse today?
i miss my farm terribly
the city...
...is not my home.
hugs
