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.
After the traveling version of the Vietnam memoral wall came through Detroit this past week, I began thinking of one of my life goals. Someday I would like to go to DC and visit the real wall.
I dont think there is any other piece of art in the history of man; pyramids castles, colliseums, buildings, paintings, anything that can touch a soul as eaisly and deeply as that wall of stone. The history of it and the people sacrificed for it may just be fresh in our minds, but I think the real beauty is in its simplicity, Just a wall.
Maybe one work of art, a picture of it... the businessman leaning against the wall with his hand touching the images of his fallen soilders in the reflection.
Just feeling a little meloncolly today from a summer of stress I guess, so I thought I would share.

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!

Just the simple freedom of speech we enjoy here at DS is worth the trials when you consider a world without. There are things worth fighting for.
As for a day we can all live in peace... not in mine or my sons lifetime; for no matter how far mankind has come mankind is still human. As to weapons of war, as long as man has hands with which to protect that which by God is his he will defend.
But the spirit of this post that a person can do something, anything to change but one life for the better then that was a life worth living I envy the artist for her insightful soul and respect the souls given on that wall to give us insight.
Love is worth fighting for...
