I love the posts here. I am guilty of getting into the forums and blogs when I am depressed. It brings a great deal of comfort to me. I feel so alone and my husband and friends, while supportive, do not understand what I am going through.

When I start to feel better, I don't like to think about being bipolar. I want to forget about it. I don't want to read about it or remember how bad I felt by reading other's experiences. I know that is selfish, but it is where I have been.

I continue to take my meds. (I went off my meds completely once and it was a disaster. I will never do that again, no matter how long I stay stable.)

I am working very hard on acceptance of my illness, and I really do like this forum. I plan to stick around even when this depressions lifts. I like this way more than FaceBook.
