| Sometimes life can be so fast, overwhelming to a degree . For a person with Bipolor Disorder it can be twice as fast and sometimes your mind is so complex during and episode you feel as if you can't sort out any of your thoughts and make sense out of them. I was diagnosed in 1996 with this illness and since then I have had my ups and downs, But sometimes little things can make my symptoms come back, I guess they never leave they are just not as dominent they stay in the background. Medicine is a key factor in helping to relieve some of the symptoms but really talking to others who have it too can be very helpful. |

| Sometimes you feel like you can never find happiness again. It is there when you least expect it.. It is in a quiet spring morning, a bird flying by, a butterfly and all its beauty. Look at the least and you will find the most. |

| The Boldness of ones own self. The willingness of ones own worth. To shine in the dark when all seems lost. To rule the mind and not let it rule you. Thank you and may you have peace of mind. |

| The storm rages in your mind your thoughts are replaced by more intense ones making no sense out of them you turn to look for something, anything |
| Then the sun shines once again and you feel as if it was all a dream. Remember those times when the sun shines. |
