Ditto on the three you've already mentioned!<BR/><BR/>I was disappointed your "longer" comment got lost on my blog. I am very interested to know what you think. I feel I have been a lttle misinterpreted by some of the comments I've gotten.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for the tip about the Peg Bracken book. I looked it up on google and yahoo and while there are lots of people who want to sell me one there are not any reviews so I know what it is about first. Could you help Sarah Louise? Much appreciated.nutmeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338099206534716993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13076516.post-69042823131801903152007-03-07T12:45:00.000-05:002007-03-07T12:45:00.000-05:00I was diagnosed with bi polar 8 years ago.

Yeah about anything, as I over think to outragoues proportions.<BR/>I think most articles on manic depression are really depressing ! One said that 2 out of 5 people evewntually die of bi polar which is horrid. However if you alter that into a percentage thats means 80 percent of people live through bi poloar. I'd rather go with the percentage stastistic it makes me feel a lot more happier.weirdbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955841382032017678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13076516.post-34301857239849352112007-03-07T07:28:00.000-05:002007-03-07T07:28:00.000-05:00K--you know, I have often thought that blogging is...K--you know, I have often thought that blogging is a form of group therapy. <BR/><BR/>I'll do a bipolar characteristics post soon. I've been not wanting to get that close to the skin, but I am finding that it helps, and that when I'm transparent, people respond. <BR/><BR/>SLSarah Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251034210962259082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13076516.post-70809533920856879092007-03-06T23:38:00.000-05:002007-03-06T23:38:00.000-05:00According to the three characteristics you've list...According to the three characteristics you've listed, I have to say that I think a blog probably makes a terrific therapy venue for someone who is bipolar. You can reach many people with your new ideas all at once, you get admiration instantly in the form of comments, and you can ramble on to your heart's content in an effort to connect everything in your life to every other thing.<BR/><BR/>What are the other characteristics? Because those three sound hauntingly familiar...Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319876018208176809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13076516.post-24245872128762475392007-03-06T13:04:00.000-05:002007-03-06T13:04:00.000-05:00Yes, good luck on the therapist hunt!

We are back at square one with finding a therapist for the girl (doctor #1 dropped our insurance, as did doctor #2, and we decided we didn't like doctor #3). I am THISCLOSE to writing a letter to DH's HR people at work to BEG them to give us more provider choices when it comes to mental healthcare. EVERY DOCTOR hates our insurance company, and they are dropping like flies. UGH.<BR/><BR/>If you decide to write a book about the horrible state of mental healthcare in this country, lemme know. Because I want to co-author it.Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08612452005428621885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13076516.post-45089641797662967602007-03-06T10:52:00.000-05:002007-03-06T10:52:00.000-05:00Thanks!Thanks!Sarah Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251034210962259082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13076516.post-25335384071448042442007-03-06T10:50:00.000-05:002007-03-06T10:50:00.000-05:00Good luck on the therapist search.
