Aaaaahhhhhh I remember the not so gentle nudging for me to change a name that no longer fit me . LOL But you guys were right " MoreThingsWrong didnt fit me anymore I had changed so much! Thank you Ladies

My opinion is that this forum use to be about taking back your life in loads of different ways .. Taking that power back for the " Bipolar" .. This can be done in so many ways .
And its not even all about " Bipolar" its about any aspect in your life . I remember being in tears many good.... many sad ..But I didn't feel alone. People have sat up with me all nite when I was in danger and not safe ,... why ? because that's just what you did for your loved ones .. I have sat up many a night doing just the same .

Life and Bipolar is like a huge buffet ... You pick and choose what you want on your plate /life .. Someone here long ago told me " just pick a day and say nothing negative and don't allow yourself to "think" anything negative ... Talk about something powerful !!!!! Its hard to do , but then again nothing worth having in your life is easy.

Life can and will get better when I think the focus comes off " OMG I have Bipolar " and we all just decide " I want to enjoy my life and be content / happy and loved by myself and others how do I make that happen ??? Here is where I found the answers.

I think being accountable for your actions and self makes a huge difference in ones life across the board .

Oh the arguments and disagreements on the forum? Oh there were many . But as Anika said it was dealt with in a calm manner and it's okay to disagree about issues ... That just makes us Human . Some of the best advice I read was on a hot thread full of different opinions.

Bipolar may be what brought me here , but all the positive people that helped me see ways to enrich my life is why I stayed .

Thank you Trippin for bring these things back into the light. I honestly think this is going to change alot of things for the better.
