C, the feline here-recently informed me she purchased Bipolar for Dummies. We had some quality phone time and some needed laughs that afternoon as she read excerpts from it. She plans on reviewing it here…possibly in a series…soon. *ahem* here kitty kitty…. *waves …arm*
Well, now they have an on-line advertisement blog.

Being Nice Is Screwing Up My Life!

This is another update to the SIL Post.
Y’all made me do some self-assessment thinking with your comments and encouragement to help crack-head, dillusional, grief stricken SIL.  I let myself be swayed by the image in my head of birds singing, butterflies landing on my shoulders, rainbows in a clear blue sky, and the voice of [...]

Buypolar Defense….

I’m truly sick of this nonsense! Chicks, it’s giving all of us a bad, bad rap. What am I talking about? The bipolar (which I from now on will call “buypolar” defense.
How many of us with bipolar disorder live day after day without managing to get our names in the news? Yes, there are times [...]

I Don’t Know How She Feels….Update

by UM/TPB

I’ll make this first part quick. Kinda like Cliff notes only BP Chick notes. Same thing. Except Cliff notes are about books that we were suppose to read in school. Much of the time, we needed those Cliff notes to pass our English class.  BP Chick notes are much the same but use language [...]

Life Changing

Stephany mentioned an article that came out in the Official Journal of The American Academy of Pediatrics (she linked to it, so I won’t) that was about *my words* the feeding of anti-psychotics to kids. Many most of whom aren’t mentally ill, and not the least bit psychotic. (They probably need a time out [...]

Sorry About That

Two weeks ago I was at my neurologist’s office for my check-up. (I’ll leave out my trigeminal neuralgia rant on this guy for now) In the epilepsy department…he does okay.
He talks a lot. He likes to visit. He’s actually a nice guy. I have more of a problem with his office (it’s way [...]

Negligent or Ignorant?

I’m talking about our doctors. I can’t decide if the majority are ignorant and don’t educate themselves in the drugs they give or or if they are negligent and don’t give a rat’s ass what they give us.
