I am so glad that I started this blog. I’ve been online all evening browsing the web reading other peoples blogs, visiting bipolar related sites, and learning more about this disorder. Mostly, I just feel so relieved to be able to interact with others that share the same struggle. Somehow it feels like a weight has been lifted. I’m able to open up and feel a little bit of freedom. I can seek out others with similar troubles and read about their struggle and how they are coping with bipolar in their lives. I can take some of their advice and apply to my own situation. I may also be able to help some of them as well because I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve learned certain things that help me get through. I like being able to talk to people about things that have been locked up inside of me for years. Maybe blogging is a form of therapy for me. I am beginning to think so. I mean I could never really talk to my family in details about what I’m going through because I would likely scare them, and cause them to worry more than they already do. They know I’m bipolar, but there is no way they could ever imagine the things and feelings that are going on inside my world. And I wouldn’t want them to. I don’t want my family worrying about me or feeling pain in their hearts because they know I’m going through such things. I don’t want to be the cause, or a burden to anyone.
