Vicki, my dear heart you have been through so very much. God Bless You! I'm so glad you have finally found the medicine that helps you be stable.

Your blog will help so many people with that diagnosis. I know lots of people who have both forms of BiPolar. It is such a hard disease.

Your story will be inspirational to those who read it. Best to you!

Thank you, Sandpiper. It's my intention to reach out to others with Bipolar and hope that they open up as well. And, also to educate those without that they understand what Bipolar is and isn't.

I just finished another radio interview today, getting the word out about Bipolar. The more I talk about it, the more comfortable I am and in turn, the more confident I am that I'm doing the right thing.

Thanks for your support.

Vicki, I'm glad to see women like you and Julie Fast (I saw her on your blog) sharing your stories. Have you considered writing a book about it? You could probably use your long post and break it in to chapters? Maybe a book for people and their loved ones who are new to the diagnosis? I know Julie's done it, but you have your own story to tell.

Thanks ladies.. I feel at peace.. I've needed to get that out for a while.

Saundra, I'm glad you like the new picture. :-)

Dotsie, I've been asked several times now to write a book about my experiences. I guess I have to let it roll around in my head for a while and see what falls out. It would have to be very open and intimate and I'm not sure how much of that I can handle yet.

But, like getting this out, it probably needs to be done. And, one day, I'll start on it. It's with your support and others encouragement that helps me move forward.

I read it Vicki. Now I understand what it's all about. Thanks to you, I think many people will be helped; those who are Bipolar or their family members.

Edelweiss.. thank you. That's what my goal was. To help others understand. I'm glad I could reach out to you.
