Hi, a Sunflower in Texas !
I'm here on behalf of the group "Invalid Item"  to give you a review on a piece that has to do with mental health for our "Invalid Item"  .
As I began reading your article here, I started to notice a lot of the things you talk about have been discussed in the group by other members who also suffer from bipolar disorder. As well I think you give great examples of what you go through on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. You seem to know a lot about your disorder(s) and you seem to know how to cope with them as well. There are so many of us that suffer from some kind of mental illness that don't even know where to start (myself included). I like that along with your opinions and experiences you also reference sources for others.
I'm sorry that you go through so much with your disorders, but I'm glad that you have found useful ways to cope with them.
If you are at all interested in helping others or would like to join a group of people that either support mental illness or are members because they too suffer, please consider checking out the group.
Thank you for sharing a little about yourself with the rest of us through this write and as always, please do, Write On!
