Re: Oh, that is different, and self-induced. No wonder you're out of
patience. Yeah, it's hard enough to know where a bipolar is coming from on any given day without throwing dope into the mix.
I can't find the invitation page to ask you to be my friend so I'll just do as you say: read some of your stuff and write to you about it. Thanks for posting that great e-mail about women's middle age. I am 59 and I really related to it. When I'm not on deadline I'll be back to read more, especially your poetry. Maryellen

Well, actually I’ve run out of patience because he’s opted to mask his highs and lows with heroin. I’ve extended the hand of help and he’s declined so… it may sound callous but if he’s not prepared to do a little of the work himself, I’m done holding out a helping hand. Entirely different scenario than you, I’m sure. Blogit friends? Sure… drop by for a read anytime and let me know what you thought and I’ll do the same.

Re: Thanks for reading the blog and commenting.
I'm sure my brothers and sisters feel I don't manage it well either, and that they never know who they are going to get either in person, by e-mail or on the phone. This hurts me but it is a fact that I don't know how to change anymore than I know how to cure myself of this crappy disorder. Your brother is probably aware of your discomfort and feels bad about it, but doesn't know what to do or say. I hope you can continue to give him your patience, love and tolerance. Hang in there.
I checked out a few of your poems. They are just beautiful. I love the photos you select to go with them too. Will you be my Blogit friend?

Re: I'm thankful that I've been spared that bi-polar curse.
I'm thankful you have too. You have more than enough to deal with. Thanks for the good wishes. Yeah, I can't write or do anything when the big black cloud comes over me. Maryellen

My brother is bi-polar and I’m never quite sure what voice I’m going to get on the other end of the phone line. (He doesn’t manage it very well at all…) It must be difficult at times.

Sure there are mood swings, days where stuff just falls in my lap. I hope you're taking care of yourself so we can read you for a long long time.
