ok, this is being not funny.....I've dealt with bipolar, agoraphobia, & epilepsy for 20 yrs now...from a Congressman inferring that we are freeloading to a one-time- acquaintance insisting that I'm a "pimple on society's asshole'.... no wonder we off ourselves....I guess I'm here yet because I love spiting others; Does that make sense to anyone????? Peace! Dj


From what little you have written here...I think you are just sick of dealing with all of this. I don't blame you. And other's insensitive responses just make things worse. But you can't focus on the people who put you down. It just deepens the well. But if it gets you angry enough to say..."Yeah I am here...deal with it!" all the power to you. Or better yet...to get political. Anger can be a good motivation to be a person who makes changes in the world.
By coincidence...I just saw a good friend today...she has a son with Bipolar and epilepsy...and I hear her stories and I know it ain't easy.
We are glad you are here. And I do hope you write and talk more about your experiences. Your voice...can help others to know that they are not alone.
Thanks so much for writing.
Hi, MerelyMe, Sometimes I piss myself off 'cause I feel I'm ranting.....wait, I guess I am....recalling before the diagnosis that I exploded because I didnt rant.. safety valve?? Still wondering what it's all for....knowing that I was an rh factor baby & should not have lived..... dubious thoughts creep into the conscious.... oh, well....SSDY... and on we go Peace. dJ
