I'm happy to meet you but sad to read of so many sorrows in your life, so much stacked up one on another. I've been luckier most of my life. Not always.

A few weeks ago, I decided I really needed a bipolar support group along the lines of AA. Since I travel a lot, my pdoc suggested NeuroTalk. I've been here daily ever since. You, I'm sure, can understand that--with bizi, Mari,~waves~, DiMarie, Donna, others, to welcome & support me.

You've suffered so many losses! I lost my daughter too, but it's been 40 yrs now & she was just 8 months old. I'd only begun to know her. What a little charmer. Lost my hubby just before she was born. But all that was decades ago.

Since I was 8 I was labeled clinically depressed. 2 yrs ago I wound up hospitalized but emerged diagnosed bipolar. All new meds! Which, for a change, seem to work. Much better, at least. So life is better overall. I'm 65 now, but better late than nada.

These are special & strong people here--stronger for each other than for ourselves--I can tell you know that by your greetings of them. I'm glad to have you here for me, & I hope to be here for you & help you along in some way or other.

Life is so darn hard as it is, & I'm very grateful for this place where no one intentionally adds to the misery.
