MDJunction to me

fluffyluggage"I found MDJunction at a time when I was struggling with so much. I
was so sick. I found a home, a place where people understood me, when
even my family doubted me. In MDJ, I found a place of refuge, love,
and support. I come here daily, to find my balance, to cope, and to
find that same support I've found from day 1. MDJ is my new family.
The friends I've made here will remain with me for a lifetime.

Thanks New for spreading the love,

You know I respect you highlySmile However, let's ALL try keep this and any other forum on topic and in the appropriate forum. I realize we have made some boo boos in the past, it happens; we are all human/have BP disorder even the GL's believe it or not (we will ALL have our moments from time to time), but let's TRY to stick to the few rules we have here.

And if there needs to be any clarification on what they are (varies in each group depending on the GL's for the most part) contact bdr or I since Colleenj has been MIA for valid/personal reasons, thanks!Smile

Much luv to all, J

That's ok New; not all of us are angels about this sort of occurence.

I as one of the GL's had to chime in and I'm glad that you understood instead of taking offense b/c unfortunately the written word can be taken out of context even with the best of intentions.

My new favorite quote is by Carrie Fisher from her book, Wishful Drinking.

"If my life were not funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable."

I recommend it to everybody. It's very funny and from a fellow bipolar II person who is also an addict.
