One in 4 bipolar, the bipolar patch
I was just reading that one in 4 patients with a major depressive disorder actually have bipolar. Is that hard to believe? Well, I don’t know. I just know that it is an awfully high number. Technically I come from a family of 5. By all rights, that means that my sister *should* be bipolar. [...]

Manic depression, great blog
I was just reading through a blog that really made sense to me. Manic Suicide is written by Patient. I am really enthralled by the articles there. The one about the link between marijuana and mania really makes sense. I could identify a lot with how he felt when using MJ. I was stoned for [...]

Crying because it’s more than myself
My friend and I have been chatting more and more about what seems to be wrong with me. I feel less bipolar and more psychotic seemingly every day. I can’t seem to stop cycling back and forth between okay and not okay. What does this say to me? Cyclothymia with a hint of borderline personality [...]
