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)

Reflecting back on the last year, I have realised that it is possible to survive and thrive with this disorder.I have learnt that effort does pay off and that time is a great healer.

That's great and I'm very glad for you. I think we need to continue promoting the belief that being diagnosed with BP is not the end of living a good life.

I agree, we all have a lot to offer in our own ways Smile

Life can be good. Even though I have gone through a rough patch all I have to do is look around me and know that I am doing well in spite of having BP. This post is a good reminder. Smile

peace & hugs

That was a terrific post. It gives hope to many, and helps others realize they are not as bad off as they though. I am glad you are doing so well.
