So after years of trying to get it together (I'm sure many of you know what I mean) I'm still here. It's a little victory but I'm here standing breathing being present trying hard to go through things day by day. My therapist who I LOVE suggested I join a support group to share my story. Everyone has one and by no means is mine mind blowing but I like to think of myself as a work in progress and a survivor of my circumstance. No one really gets the triumph you feel when you come out of a mania or a depression. I guess I joined to feel a part of something that is just mine. I don't seek out bipolar friends and my boyfriend is the most calm collected man on the planet. I want to know what others experience and most of all I want to feel less alone less different less isolated. I'm often with those I love and feel so different so alone so weird? Any thoughts??
