I am not entirely sure what I am looking to get out of this blog, but, one thing is for sure, I am tired of being quiet about mental illness. I do not understand the stigma; is it because it is a "new" thing? Well, it is not, and I want to scream from the balcony to tell you that we are not alone and we should not be ashamed of having faulty wiring. There is nothing we could have done to prevent that.
Roughly three years ago, I was diagnosed with the classic text book case of bipolar disorder, or what we use to call Manic-Depressive. I personally prefer Manic-Depressive as it is less clinical sounding and more descriptive, even though bipolar is meant to refer to different poles. Now I say I was diagnosed about three years ago, at age 34, but I have always known something wasn't wired correctly with me. I always marched to the beat of my own drum, among other common symptoms, but I will get into that a little later.
I just wanted to say hi, and set this up, hopefully find a direction for it.
Have a great day!
