Like you, Tina, I was diagnosed as clinically depressed. At age 8! An early achiever

. But, oh wait...oh, well, no. When I was SIXTY-THREE! they decided they'd gotten it wrong. Gosh'n'golly. Sorry 'bout that.
You're bipolar! Just a minor adjustment...
So yeah, you just never know which turns around what mountains life's gonna send you. Fasten your seat belts...it's gonna be a bumpy ride (a la Bette Davis).
I can at least promise you that when you come here you can count on people who will
never make things worse for you

just because they can. & we don't turn on others.
Besides that, you can come here & say anything, ask anything, rant

, storm

, dance a jig
