i tell you, for the longest time i went undiagnosed for bipolar. it wasn't easy, there were days i was so down, i didn't wanna look in the mirror. guess i more the less beat myself up and felt worthless. But after getting on a couple pills, i've had it pretty much under control. i know i'll never be cured, but i will have it controlled. you never know Ry, that move to Texas could be a starting point where you really kick bipolar in the preverbial groin. If there's anything i'd like to do while being a part of the support group, i'd like to let everyone know, that bipolar can not beat us. It's a sideaffect, kinda like an extra finger. We know it's there, we don't like it, and we feel out there for having it. But we know there are others with it and we're not alone. I guess everyone has their own way of dealing with things, but i gotta say, cutting does sound pretty dangerous and infectious. I'm no doctor, but i am gonna keep this in my back pocket, behind me when i walk, not in front of me.
