Terri, good job. any way you can get your feelings out is a good thing. And for me, it seems easier to try to write it in poetry style rather than say..this is what's going on blah blah blah blah...
Girl, I couldn't agree more with everybody. It's hard enough dealing with the issues WE have to deal with, much less having someone throw it in OUR face. If this man loved you he wouldn't do any of...
Well thank you Catlady!! I truly appreciate it! I write sometimes, I especially write short stories but have stopped doing that as well. Maybe one day I'll be able to sit down and write a book lmao....

For several years now I've accepted the dx of "bipolar on the low side" and gone about my normal business. Not really knowing what that term meant. And to be quite frank, not really caring. It was...
