Why wear a ribbon?

 
"Lymphedema in both legs. " (tissuepaperpet)

MDJunction to me

liamacker"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

My maternal grandmother could only go to school sporadically because she was always being pulled out to help when her mother delivered another baby. She had 10.

My paternal grandmother was married at 15 and had her first baby by the time she was 16. She had a total of 10.

Thanks for the reminder of how far women have come. Not only can we become educated now, we have access to birth control.

My opinions are just opinions, and should be taken as such. I am not an expert on medicines or BP disorder.
