I tried to write it with a sort of tongue-in-cheek tone and yet, still try to convey at least some or the "simple" points of dealing with being diagnosed with Bipolar. I guess I wanted to try and inject a little bit of humour as that is how I try and deal with my illness a lot of the time (even though I know it's not always a laughing matter.)<br /><br />Always striving for balance, I guess...Patient Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443612027249870621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220384822616348160.post-53170438322341104942006-12-13T19:37:00.000-05:002006-12-13T19:37:00.000-05:00wow i wish someone had shown me your post when i w...wow i wish someone had shown me your post when i was diagnosed with depression, to see the stages written like that is really helpful thanksmusik-addikthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514054703915221957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220384822616348160.post-91684049675592231942006-12-08T09:57:00.000-05:002006-12-08T09:57:00.000-05:00Hi rob, thank you for stopping by!
Very wise wor...Hi rob, thank you for stopping by! <br /><br />Very wise words--and some I should probably heed. Many times, people have said that I am too hard on myself while I give them way too much slack and judge them to a lesser degree, should the shoe be on the other foot.<br /><br />Thank you as well to adding me to your list of blog sites. I shall return the favour as in reading about your site, you sound like someone I can definitely relate to!Patient Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443612027249870621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220384822616348160.post-34160610324679726452006-12-07T18:23:00.000-05:002006-12-07T18:23:00.000-05:00Hey!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Regarding this...Hey!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog!<br /><br />Regarding this post, I think there is a degree to which we need to accept our weaknesses as part of us as much as we do our strengths. You don't overdo it by identifying yourself by your disease, but you also don't ignore who you are, faults and all. <br /><br />I have personally found that it is more important for me to know and accept what I am bad at (while still trying to improve them), than what I am good at. We give kids the idea that "just try hard enough and you can accomplish anything you want." I think that is harmful. We all have limitations and that is OK. Usually our weaknesses are a flip-side to our strengths.<br /><br />Anyway, thought I would return the favor and visit your fine blog.<br /><br />RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
