dear Over It, can I just catch up as I have missed not responding back to you.
I am pleased that you have been diagnosed with bipolar, because there were certain comments that you have made that indicated this to me such as, ' if I haven't raged and destroyed them' as well as ' anxiety levels are soooo high concentration levels are extremely low' and 'laughing and crying'.
Neil is right when he says ' so people can just unload and vent and rant and rave (if they wish) and to just get things off their chest', and that's the last quoting for me at the moment.
I would like to know what your wife, who is very supportive to you which is great, but how she is handling your drinking at the moment, and I only mention this because my ex-wife hated me drinking and so did my 2 sons, as I had clinical depression, well that's what my psychologist called it, and whether it's any different to just having depression, I don't know, but probably not.
The lights in the exit tunnel are only turned on by ourselves, although we can be guided and helped all the way, but no one can turn these lights for you, because if this happens then we are not ready to overcome or have the ability to control this illness.
We have to have the strength to be able to walk through this tunnel and cope with any problems that may confront us along the way. Geoff.
