> The people here absolutely blow me away. What a great crowd!
i have a lot of ... very successful, popular friends in real life but!
i just don't respect them the same way that i respect people who 1) have endured so much
AND 2) have insights into life that is way beyond what any normal person can comprehend....mental illness certainly seems like a curse sometimes .. and don't get me wrong i would rather be without it..... BUT putting down people who have experienced so much has always seemed strange to me (even before suffering bp) i would have thought you would look up to someone with wisdom + willpower/inner strength
i dunno... in many ways i feel closer to people in cyberspace than some of my best friends ...... i wish i could find more functional bipolars to hang out with :)
