It is just me!
Hi, my name is Kathy. I just turned 46 years old. I am a wife, a mother, a bird breeder and I AM BIPOLAR! Saying this hasn't always been that easy. The mental illness of Manic Depression also know as Bipolar Disorder has a huge stigma attached to it. I have lived with this stigma for the last 7 years.
Now, I am ready to make a change in the way people view those that suffer from Bipolar Disorder. I am so tired of hearing on the news....And the killer was Bipolar, or the rapist was bipolar or the sick bastard that committed all those terrible crimes was Bipolar. I am tired of the bad guy in the movie having Bipolar Disorder. I am tired of people watching me wondering if I am going to do s Adding the the already oppressing stigma of trying to live and cope with the mental illness Bipolar Disorder.
It is not all bad to have Bipolar Disorder. Many famous creative peolpe suffer from Bipolar Disorder. It is a major balancing act with medication, therapy and diet and exersice. If you are one of the lucky ones that learned to balance their diease you are one of the lucky ones. My goal here is to educate with experence humor and understanding.

Just a hint about blogging. You should join a webring and comment on other people's blogs with your topic in order to join a community. But more importantly, you just blog more often. Once a day is good, especially with the ephemeral nature of this illness, one day on, one day off. You can get the Bipolar planet webring code off of http://bipolarplanet.blogspot.com/ It will give you directions on how to put it in your page. If you need any help, feel free to contact me.
