I had a REALLY BAD manic episode. Everyone around me made me feel like I was the "bad guy", but never once tried to understand what it was like from my point of view. They didn't see me as someone who needed help, instead of shame, guilt,and judgement. I came to PC to find a place where I belonged, to find ONE PERSON in this world who knew what it's like to be bipolar. I had no idea that I'd find SO MUCH in common with so many others! You are all like family to me now! Much love to all of you!
