I got tired of seeing all the happy smiles, cute kids, kitten pictures, quotes about things most people really have no idea about.

Let's see, I've had bipolar all my life and it's robbed me of a lot of happiness. Now there's a cheery post for my facebook "friends."
(((Deb))) it is hard watching it all through their pictures. within the past month, i've seen the pics through fb of a wedding and a baby shower i was not invited to i understand i haven't been the greatest friend because have episodes of isolation and of doing wild, crazy things.

i have fantasized about posting some things like you're saying, but usually just come talk here or write it down and rip it up or burn it. i stop myself because i know they're not really going to understand. they may stop and look for a moment, but they'll just go back to their well planned out lives, their routine playdates, dinner parties, vacations.

we have a different path.
