Why wear a ribbon?

"because I suffer from depression, bi-polar disorder, PTS, and anxiety." (ksmi)

MDJunction to me

"My name is Jayna and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how much MDJunction has meant to me. I always felt so alone before I joined in April of 2012. I felt like there wasn't anyone that really cared about me and what I was going through. I felt like there was no one that would truly listen to me in what I was feeling. Nobody was there for me. That is before I found MDJ!

I have found and met such good people on these forums. I never ever knew there were such compassionate people before MDJ. It's also nice to know that I can come here anytime and get support for what I am feeling. I feel like I have met some wonderful life long friends. It is also an outlet for me to try and help other people that are hurting. It gives me a good feeling inside and gives me self confidence in helping other people.

I hope MDJ will be as good for you as it has been for me! Many Blessings and Much love." (jayna01)

1st it was that Hollywood twit whose name I refuse to say. "I act an @$$ because I am Bipolar!". No you act that way because you ARE an @$$!

Now we have a guy who flys from Cali to WashYourMoney D.C. and gets in a suicidal gun fight with 2 Pentagon Guards.

Can't we come up with someone better?

Who would you want to be the SpokesPerson? Living or dead. Any time period.

JennyT	Stephen Fry is lovely. He has cyclothymia, and he did a wonderful documentary on bipolar disorder.

I'm an Advocate
