Mental Health Support

It's hard to find people that are atheist, liberal, non-fiction bookworms that like video games, sarcasm...and art. (That's okay with listening to my music.) I've found one, and he's my husband. Go figure. But otherwise, close friends are always hard to come by.

I don't mind telling people about my health. I do it sometimes because it's like a competition. "Oh yeah, I can't really top a quadruple bypass I guess..." I've had a lot more than just bipolar going on you see. The last person who I really couldn't top, died. It's a morbid game really unhealthy people play I guess.

Ever feel jealous of healthy people? I've had that happen, depending on how sick I am. I'm like, "Damn those joggers and their fruit and Caesar salads."

Being introvert isn't the most horrible thing in the world, unless it doesn't make you happy. If you're afraid of meeting new people or getting closer to people, it's because it's outside of your normal.

Everyone's normal is different, and some of them are harsher than other peoples normal. But if you need the change, you need the change. Just keep in mind this one thing: you are trading the problems of isolation with the problems of being social. They're different problems, and it takes awhile to adjust to that. It always, ALWAYS, depends on the attitude you take to each set of problems. If I'm alone, I go, hmm... I can read, draw, play video games, or learn how to do something new! If I'm around people, well...you probably already know those problems.
