It is not my fault that I have an illness, and who knows, the uniqe experience I am getting as a bipolar-sufferer can be used to help others in some way. Both my mental stamina and my physical stamina has been low for years though, and it is really like having a physical handicap I think.
MI definitely has a physical component. It is an all-encompassing brain disorder. By definition, the whole of brain function is compromised. I see this post as a healthy approach to our sad state of affairs and yeah, I even get hopeful sometimes that I make a difference in someone's life. Maybe even get comfortable enough with some that I open the door to my world.

This may not make any sense. I'm plain old ****ed up and hanging in there in spite of it.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
