Stigma

So, something exciting happened to me yesterday... I was approached (on Twitter) by a wonderful soul who asked if I would be interested in sharing an essay about my personal experiences living with bipolar disorder. The group (if you wish to follow on Twitter, and you probably should!) is @stigmafighters and they are doing some amazing things! Please give them a follow! And thank you for reading... You have helped me to make it this far. Thank you.

Just another manic... Wednesday?

Sooooo manic again. If this post comes off kind of ramble-like that's because I have been up since 2:45PM on Tuesday. I am on a bad sleep cycle due to my mania. It's easy to stay up late for me and sleep in, but it's really difficult to get back on going to bed early and waking up early. Well, I have a brilliant idea, considering my sleeping pills do not work... I'm staying up all night so that way I get tired today around 7-8. I know it doesn't sound brilliant, but trust me, when you're desperate, you'll do anything! And making pancakes at 2:45AM for my husband... yeah I'm desperate at this point. New topic...

So many people came and showed their love and support to not only Mom, but our family as well! It was so much fun. People who I was not very close with even came... That's how much my mom touches people's lives. And I made amends with three dear people in my life. I pushed them away and they came back... It took time, because I was pretty damn harsh, like I can be. But they came back! That is how you know you have a great person in your life. Don't get me wrong... DO NOT JUST PUSH PEOPLE AWAY BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SEE WHO WILL COME BACK! I was in a bad and dark place. I didn't know what I was doing. I was doing more harm to myself than anything be kicking good and loving people out of my life. I am more loved than I know and ALL of my friends and family are VERY amazing! I allowed too much hate
