| A little about me: | I am a 30 year old white male. I was diagnosed as bipolar in 2003 after graduating college. I have not maintained steady employment since then. I am currently on disability. I have had a hard time because I would rather work. Every time I try a new job, I end up having another manic episode and loose it. My wife's cousin recently had a manic episode and shot himself with a shotgun. He is recovering, but his face will be disfigured. He had never been diagnosed. I hope that I can use the knowledge and resources I have to help him cope with it. He knows that I have had this for a long time, so I feel like he will be able to talk to me about it more than other family members. It will also help me cope too by feeling useful. Maybe? |

"I thank God everyday for giving me another chance. I have attempted suicide, been put in jail, disrobed and ran down a dirt rode at night, along with many other episodes. Without God and many other support systems I know for a fact that I would be deceased. When on meds, nothing like this happens." |

My Diary

Oct. 16th, 2008 was my fourth anniversary with my wife. It is my sisters 31st birthday. It is also the day that I have to go report to my probation officer. I am on probation because of my last manic episode that I had on January 26th of this year. Got the cards covered for the women. I bought my wife a new purse that she wanted and a new wallet for her to and a necklace. She asked me what I wanted. I said 'I need a twenty-five dollar money order for the probation officer.'
