Zadie, I was thinking about saying we could go to Hawaii and I could do some flame throwing but then realized that I'd probably scare everyone away. Not a psychiatrist (pdoc) nor a therapist...what you read are my thoughts and there you go.

Just having fun. That's what I love about Bipolar Support...we're a family. We get to know each other, have fun. I can't tell you how many times someone has poked fun at me. It's rather hilarious. fallingstar9, would you please monitor the shuffle board?  Too many of the discs are going over the railing. Not a psychiatrist (pdoc) nor a therapist...what you read are my thoughts and there you go.

Who's on the poop deck? I think we should pass through the Straits of Gibraltor and then invade Nice, France. They don't have enough flame throwers. We could lie about the beach like a group of bellowing seals. I'll sing and help butcher the French language. The French LOVE that. We can take baguettes and make them litesavers and pretend (or believe) we're Jedi knights . . . . Zadie "I'm going to quit -- dried turkey." - Anonymous

Welcome all! We are a family... Let us know how we can help! Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)
