WHAT I LIKE ABOUT BIPOLARS

...is that we're so darned honest! (Yes, in spite of trolls and Other People)

I mean, how many bipolar hypocrites do you meet? NOT!! Sometimes we are screwed up and can't say what we really mean - so it comes out too mean, or doesn't come out right - but Never Hypocrasy!

That is so cool to me - I've never met a bipolar I couldn't respect, even if I didn't Get Along with them! We say what we think. (that's not really a bad thing, no matter what your mother told you)

Do you think it's easier to get along with BPs than 'Normal People'?

prolly not easy for a normal person but we understand each other. so it easy for us to get along with each other.

I try not to say anything unless it's something possitive or helpful. So I hope that makes me easy to get along with. My hubby doesn't think so some times, though. :)

You know, I don't know that many other bipolar people. But I have to agree, I am really honest and straightforward, as is the other BP I know. Interesting observation.

I'm not positive that i fully agree. I know for myself, I am brutally honest to the point of exposing my faults and wrong doings to the world, because I don't care what they think of me. I have been forgiven by HE who counts the most. I have noticed that sometimes people get very angry by something that is said by another, and that is usually due to dishonesty within themselves that they now have to deal with. If everyone were honest, there would be no reason for anger.

I have a core of great friends.I've known a couple of them 32 years.I'm 38.They've seen my changes.
I prefer their company to labelled company.
My friends know that they can't understand all of my world.
That is the great thing about them.

Not a people person, but folks with BP or Depression seem more REAL!

I like them at a distance.
Too many crazy people in one room does not make a good mix.
It is called a vicious cycle.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
