time. I also suffer from severe bi-polar disorder. What a fun freaking ride, NOT.

I hear you, RainDog, wanting help that actually works and being denied it is a shame on this country. Meds almost killed me, the doctors had me on so much with horrid side-effects, I'm actually the queen of side effects!

Now I just try to survive each day, and it's one hour at a time some days. I do smoke, if the chance arises, and it helps sooo much.
