To be a kid again

They say everyone has to grow up sometime. Well I want to know just how much do we have to grow up?

The life of a cat

Let me tell you about my crazy cat. She wakes with me every morning.

"Please let me out mommy.  Ill die if I cant go out." The first thing she does after I let her out is to roll around in the dirt.  Makes me wonder what the point of the morning bath was.  Once ...

I was fortunate to make it into my mid twenties before I was really effected by the disorder.  Don't get me wrong, I did struggle in the early years and throughout my teens, but I was not crippled by it.  I just always felt a little different, a little odd, a little confused as to who I was.  I remember the day I was officially diagnosed.  I had recently attempted suicide and was released from the hospital with the promise to seek psychological help. I was required to take a mental health evaluation upon my first visit and it took no time at all for the psychiatrist to determine that I indeed did have bipolar.  It would be almost ten years later that I would be diagnosed with Bipolar II.  The news terrified me.  I was 22 and a single mom of a 5 year-old son.  I didn't have time to deal with this...
