Bipolarly

I made a decision a long time ago to at least try to accomplish a blessing out of suffering.  I am nothing special, and there are many who have endured a lot more than I have, but what I have experienced should not be a solitary battle.  For a long time I thought it was, then I realized, through others who shared their story with me, that I am not alone.  So that is part of my purpose, I believe.  I can't fix it for anyone, but I can let them know they aren't alone.  So I try to be open and honest about mental illness, and about all the wrong actions that occurred due to my struggle with it.  I won't pretend to know what some things are like for you, or for anyone else.  But the things I know, I will share.  Maybe that way, our burdens don't seem so lonely :)
