From: Cricketbug on 24 May 2008 13:42 Hi Everyone, I have been diagnosed with Bipolar for over 5 years now. I just wanted to let everyone out there know that I have created a blog site that is sharing my personal experience on the disease, including different medications that I have been prescribed, some worked, some didn't, information for caregivers, and just to let everyone out there with this disease know that you really are not alone! I will be posting on it just about everyday. The posts start with when I was first diagnosed and will go up until present and continue on. So feel free to come visit and hopefully you will get some good information from there, and feel free to post on any of the discussions as well. Again, caregivers are VERY welcome as well!

From: zipper on 26 May 2008 08:40 sounds fab, Cricketbug. Is bipolar a disease? I thought it was a disorder. Maybe it's changed. Maybe I've changed. shawn
From: zipper on 27 May 2008 14:30 I agree. I prefer disorder. It doesn't sound like something you might catch on public toilet. Yes, and "affective disorder" sounds more like everything is quite in order. A little less insane.

I believe the term chemical imbalance has saturated the media and is no longer a safe way of saying -- *wink-wink* -- I'm down, I'm up, I'm both. EVERYBODY KNOWS I'M NUTS if they say i have a chemical imbalance. I don't care about the Jerry Springer fans, they wouldn't understand anyway. But it's the cops, clients, medical people, blahblahblah. They all use the buzz words. I'm highly aware that I have just a gauzy thingy floating between me and them. Ah, this is probably because i'm on disability for BP, and my privates have become public. That was a lot for me to say. |
