I can't answer this. I don't feel that the best has come. I'm grateful for my friends family and apartment, yet I still feel that the best is to come. What is the best thing that has happened to you?

I would say the most amazing thing that has happened to me was the arrival of my first child. I never thought I would be a parent.

Meeting and marrying my wonderful husband (30 years in June). He has stood by me and taken care of me through thick and thin. He also took up the slack when I was ill and was a wonderful father to our three children. He is a saint.

Marrying my husband of 35 years. Without him nothing else, especially our kids, would have been possible.

Well, probably the best thing for me happened many years ago when I did something that was not well thought out. My husband got me to the hospital where I had excellent care--if not for that, I would never have seen my dear sons get married and never would have met all my grandchildren! I will always be grateful for getting another chance

I'd say the two times i fell in love. I like falling in love. Staying in love is not as exciting.

Getting my college degree. I cried tears of joy when I got the email that it was being granted, and then I proceeded to call everyone I knew to tell them the good news!

Graduating from Harvard was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. It has opened many doors for me, even though my bipolar disorder insists on closing them.

When my mom got sick (a year and a half in the hospital, and now PT) my dad and I up to this point didn't generally get along, we started to get into it a bit, and I said we need to stop doing this and worry about mom right now. set our differences aside. He was floored by the wisdom that had just been disposed upon him. and since then we have never been closer. he's done some reading about my illness and how to help manage a loved one with it, now we're best friends.
So as far as how terrible an experience this all was for my mom, the silver lining was that it brought my dad and I closer together than we ever could've been. In the future it will be my graduation from college which will at that point be a minimum of a 10 year run to get an undergrad chemistry degree. I'll cry at that one for sure. __________________ Bipolar 1 with mixed and psychotic symptoms & ADHD Meds Latuda 120mg Lamictal 200mg Haldol 5mg (+5mg during mixed episodes) Vyvanse 40mg morning 20mg noon Benztropine 0.5mg |

My niece.
My family was small and continues to get smaller. My niece is the only new growth on the family tree. She will be the only too. Due to mental illness I am not even considering children. Plus I am getting to the point, I wouldn't have a lot of time if I suddenly changed my mind. Due to her mother's age, she will be an only child. I know I am not her mother but in a way she is my child too. She is as close as I will come to a biological child. A little bit of my DNA is in her make up. I often have no idea how to behave around her. When she was a baby, I was terrified when she cried. But I would walk through fire for her. I would do anything to protect her. Her arrival in the world coincided when the rapid acceleration of me into bipolar. But she had no say in that. And thought of being her aunt and watching her grow up has kept me going in the difficult times. My big goal now is to eventually move to their hometown so I can see their little family more. I can video dance recitals and photograph birthday parties. I would like it. |

When my future wife said "yes" when asked if she would marry me. When my two kids were both born. Hard to choose.

My mind, my memory, emotions, depression and mania, my parents, people, being torn between extremes, paradoxes, my rational and irrational mind, knowledge, suffering, escaping, integrating, creativity, my friends, destroying and healing, sharing: life. Just life. All of it.
__________________ Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide. See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me. |
