My pdoc keeps me so medicated to the gills that I have never HAD a "big exciting" episode. Yeah, last May I had a manic episode, and I did write in my blog at the time, but she squashed it with a mountain of Seroquel. I know- I'm not saying I WANT my episodes to be bad, I'm just saying that I'm usually good about catching the episodes myself. Last May, not so much.

Blog writing is wonderful and therapeutic, Moose! I used to write daily in mine, but my writer's block slowed that down, too. It's lovely to attract followers and follow other blogs, isn't it? Blogs are a rich source of information, enjoyment, and other benefits.
My intended "memoir" of course includes stories about my bipolar episodes, but I am reluctant to call it a "bipolar memoir". I look at it as something more than that. Mine will include a collection of stories that I hope will seem like a journey. Hopefully an interesting one.
