bp is daily life d why we don't really talk about daily life but just solely bp related topics. Bipolar is part our daily life but we don't seem to share that. It doesn't really help us get to know each other enough to give personalize advice when needed. So I think we should really try to focus not only on bp but daily life things.
So How do you spend your days? Have you always lived in X? What are some of your hobbies? What's the best meal you've ever had? If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go? What's the best gift you've ever given? What ability or skill do you most wish you had (that you don't have already)? What is/was your favorite subject in school? What's your dream job? If you had to choose only one: cat or dog? Who do you live with? How was your day? What are you doing today?

I live in Washington state, but I grew up in Caifornia. I like to read and spend time on the computer. My dream vacation is anywhere that has a beach within walking distance. My favorite gift was being taken out to a dinner and a movie for mothers day last year. Undecided on the abilities part. my fave subjects were English and Drama. My dream job is something I can do at home (not babysitting) and flexible hours. CAT I live with my grown son and daughter.
