hi there...i don\'t have bipolar disorder, but i\'ve certainly experienced depression and i\'m curious to learn more about how bipolar disorder differs from depression and how you treat something that\'s more \'episodic\'. anyone? thanks for any feedback.

Thank you so much for this. Amazing how many times I have said these things to myself many times and seeing it in front of me has made me much more aware!

This is exactly what I needed to read. I've been pulling for about ten years and I finally decided not to be a victim and to take my recovery into my own hands.

Each of the points you made give me some way to address all the negative and destructive urges with something positive and productive.

Thank you!!!
