Hey, wasssup:

I'm coming out of a deep depression in a significant part, because I found this forum.
Something to do when everything else was boring. It started as a joke, then it became serious business.
Specially after my one and only rant. Things started to change.
I realized there were people here living normal lives.Something I was about to give up.
I could go on and on, however, it not about me. It's about you.
What has being your experience here.

There is something to be said about routine

Truth, change, growth, acceptance....blessings and tc

Somewhere to go and visit with others who understand.

To try and help when I'm feeling strong.

Learning about medications.

Lots of love.

I have technology addiction (not diagnosed, self-admitted, however... is there a real term for that???) so it's shifted from mindless scrolling on Facebook for hours on end to meaningful interaction on PC. I'm delighted I now have a better place to "goof off" while I'm not getting anything else accomplished! ;-) I love to be of help to others by sharing my knowledge and experience with BP (I was diagnosed 13 years ago and I manage my illness well). Thanks for being my new online buddy! :-D

it's given me a family i never had. (even though it's a virtual family)

it's given me chance to connect with others, while also having fun by taking part in various distractions.

it's taught me that i can talk about how i'm feeling without being judged or made fun of (which before PC, people used to do all the time)

it's enabled me to help and give advice to others (even if i'm not really in a place to do so at times)

Grateful to have found pc to know I'm not alone. I hate that so many others suffer though. I spend a lot of time here

I've always wanted to meet other bipolar people. I feel very alone in real life because I don't know anyone who goes through the same struggles as me, and my parents are the kinds of people who've made fun of bipolar and mental illness on many occasions (which is why I will never tell them my diagnosis). I could/would join a bipolar support group, but my social anxiety always gets in the way.

I guess PC fills those voids.

i think that's why i'm such a massive fan of music.

i start to feel lonely and like i'm the only person in the world who goes through these things, then blast robbie williams and feel- and always feel better. (the lyrics just really work for me!)

Don't be bashful. Keep 'em coming.
