Bipolar Disorder Support Group

This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Happy New Year Everyone!!
I know I've been MIA for awhile - it's been a roller coaster. I'm struggling with a depressive episode right now, but I'm making my way forward (one moment, one step at a time).
It's been a really big year for me. Lots of changes, lots of medical issues. Lots of joy for my friends who've been blessed with babies. Lots of longing and working out what I want for myself.
I checked into LJ tonight, too, and saw this meme and thought I'd share it.
I'm going to work on my own answers - do a bit of reflection. Growth is always a goal. I thought I'd share it with my favourite community of people.
1. What did you do in 2015 that you'd never done before?
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
4. Did anyone close to you die?
5. What countries did you visit?
6. What would you like to have in 2016 that you lacked in 2015?

a) happier or sadder?

that is certainly some list! I am going to take it away for contemplation.... the saying... intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings really stuck a chord with me..... so I need a goals list..... short term and long term... so I will do that over the next few days... and this list will help me focus on what I want too... so thank you for sharing! xx
