Last edited Mon Dec 17, 2012, 01:43 AM - Edit history (1)

i posted something on facebook mentioning i am bipolar, she messaged to tell me she was diagnosed earlier this year. we talked our for a bit and, at the end of the conversation, she told me she felt better.

she's a smart, progressive, beautiful young woman raised in a very neurotic family. i am proud of who she has become.

Glad you could be there for her. So much easier than having to go it alone. *hugs* GreenPartyVoter Dec 2012 #2

You can be there for each other.

I think the "very neurotic family" seems to be a common starting point for many of us.
