Hey Bronzeowl-You rock!

I am so happy that even through the black cloud you are able to weigh things out so carefully and in a calm and rational manner. I think one of the really negative componants of bipolar is that we tend to accept it, unconditionally. For me, it was like, okay-I'm bipolar and I'm supposed to be in this dark place so why fight it?

But you are fighting it and that is awesome. I'm so sorry that you have to fight an eating disorder as well. I've been there, too, so I understand the double whammy. And it's okay that you are struggling-it means you are fighting. It means that you don't really want to be in this dark place and that you are looking for options. Another victory for you-I hope with all my heart that your load feels a little bit lighter. You made it through November, right? So maybe you can make it through July, 24 hours at a time. We will be here for you. We will be here for you-everyday.

One of the truths I've discovered about bipolar is that if you look right at it, and spit in it's eye-it starts to lose some of it's power. I used to believe that I was hopelessly stuck-forver-but I've learned that does not have to be the case. And if you need to talk, or rant, this is a great place to do it.

And if you feel like you need someone on your side-pm me. We'll take up our swords and fight the trickster two at a time.
Thank you for taking the pledge. Tea
