I am planning on getting a tattoo today. My bipolar symptoms got really bad when I was a teen and I started SI with my first mixed episodes. I was 14. I'm turning 28 this year and have not stopped. That's 1/2 my life! So I'm done. I'm getting my butterfly tattoo. (See The Butterfly Project)

I just had to make that public, for accountablity. I don't know how I'll cope with mixed epsiodes, but there is another way.

Yay Tortoise!!! Tell me about your butterfly...what kind and what color?

I have never had a tattoo so I don't know how it feels. I googled the butterfly project. Very cool! Good for you!

It hurts! I got a little monarch butterfly in purple on the inside of my left wrist. I'll post a photo link later.

Tattoos are great. I love my two even if they are over 15 years old.

Good luck lady

It is actually crooked, so I'm going to go back and have my son's name added in cursive (I was not sure if I wanted to do that before) to make it look better. Not looking forward to that. Ouch!

Do you remember when I got my earrings last year and then you got yours pierced? I think this is symbolic of you claiming your power back - and that's to be celebrated :)

Nice tat. I like the openness of it.

haha Jade! I was more nervous about getting ears pierced. I had to wait until I was REALLY hypomanic and did it on an impulse, lol.
