When I was first diagnosed (BPII) I was in partial denial. So I started keeping a small note book (2x3) and every morning when I woke up and every night at bed time I would rate how I felt on a scale of one to ten...not manic or depressed, just "goo…
i can't believe you just said this! I was just sitting here saying to myself--i don't know what i feel. Maybe it is because we are not used to this feeling. Maybe this is what normal is like? Not being so conscious of our mood. Take it for what it i…

Hi, Lisa! I too am a young widow for six years now. My beloved late husband is still taking care of me and our son by leaving us financially comfortable, but certainly not wealthy. So far, I haven't worked in over a year and a half and wonder if I'l…

thanks for all of the suggestions and helpful comments.

- By all means, Kimberlee, you can ask questions about meds. Just remember we aren't doctors and can only tell you our own experiences. But just knowing some of our experiences can be helpful.
