It's me again. I should also add that I was first diagnosed with depression and then with bipolar depression. It is really hard to write those words on a screen where others will see them when they pertain to me. I am a former mental health worker and a former nurse. I would be the first one to tell someone else to hold their head up high. That an illness of the brain is like an illness of any other body part. I really was sincere. Now, I'm the one hearing those words. I'm hoping that this group will be able to help me say these words as casually as saying mumps.
