finally made it to this forum! I have been "bouncing" around PC in several other areas. I have rapid cycling bipolar with suicidal ideation as my main Dx. In the mix there exist acute anxiety (stress) disorder ... wonderful combination. I invite anyone to visit my Profile and see what I have posted in "About Me", feel free to "browse" at ease. I might be surprised by several of your responses . Howwever, challenges can be fun.

My greatest support is laughter ( ). It is the best Rx for me right now. You will find me in the "Depression is" thread. The thread has really helped to lower my depression levels. The support and understanding from my PC friends is invaluable. I would suggest, anyone dealing with an "overdose" of depression to take a look at this thread. If you do not laugh ... you will smile.

Depression roams at large in my life. It does not know any boundaries. My mania is minimal, but do I often think about going, "onward and upwards" at times. Faith keeps me glued to this earth. Mental health advocacy keeps my life meaningful, but I do struggle with some deep suicidal thoughts at times. Depression can be like cancer ... sometimes it can be fatal

Without further ado I will say and will again. I usually just in. to all.
PS: I luv to use the smilies ... as some of you already know.
