First I'd like to thank

I'd like to thank the readers who have given this blog a chance. Whether it be from Exile in Myville (my movie and music site) or anywhere else. It's not likely to be uplifting in fact it more than likely will be quite depressing, but that's not the point. The point is that medication and therapy are real things in the real world and I would like to show some of you that it's not all that uncommon for people to have personality disorders such as my Bi-Polar disorder,(what was once called manic-depressive disorder) it is however, uncommon to be diagnosed or to receive treatment. So if you're feeling off- sleep all day or not at all, or have any other symptoms related to depression or mania I ask that you make a doctors appointment ASAP and try to first rule out everything they can with blood work. The other avenue is to go straight to a psychiatrist, you should be able to get a list of available psychiatrists from your insurance plan but if not the Yellow Pages are there for a reason so please, if you think you need help then please get it. If it wasn't for my diagnosis and treatment I would not be currently functioning in society. I had my first panic attack since leaving the hospital 6 weeks ago today and I will blog more about that as I come down a little bit from it.
