Welcome to the Bipolar Day to Day Reality Blog, My name is Miranda

This blog has been created for bipolar people and their friends and families to come together and share their experiences with this illness. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 in 2003 and have been on medication since. I have good days and bad. I have depressed days and manic. I am currently finishing up my Master's degree in psychology and begin my Ph.D in psychology in the fall of this year. Sometimes I wonder how I go on and how I will do it. I am a mother of two special needs children and have been married for 13 years. The other day I was doing ok, then all of a sudden, I became hypo manic and started to think of how I could make money. My unemployment was running out and I wanted to do an at home business. I began to plan a business in which I would go to other people's homes and do massages and then have sex with them. After I came out of my mania, I was in disbelief at what I had been thinking. I was thinking that this was a great idea! But then, I realized it was my mania and I could not believe that I had been considering such an idea. This is the life of a bipolar. Please appropriately share your experiences. This is meant to be a community diary of your ups, downs and challenges. A place to write about the disturbing thoughts and behaviors that you may not be comfortable talking to others about.
