I always wanted to play the drums but they are really expensive. What musical instrument do you play?

kamokittie I play the Clarinet and have for over 10 years now. I love it, but yes even it can become very expensive!! I suppose if you enjoy something enough, then it's well worth it though. I love the drums but I don't possess enough cordination to play such a complex...

kamokittie Thank you for your well thought out advice. I guess I'm finding it most difficult because I was just so recently diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. In a way it's releiving because it really seems to fit my symptoms. Then again, it's nervewracking because I know...

kamokittie Also, pyewacket, I'm sorry to hear about your mother, I can't imagine what that would be like and I dread the day that I have to deal with it. I really hope that you have at least come to a sense of peace with it. I wish you the best!

kamokittie Thank you for the support. It's good to know that others understand where I'm coming from. :) I suppose this time of year isn't all that bad because everyone seems to be so caring and understanding...if only it were like that all the time. Thank you both.

kamokittie Oh sweetie, you certainly aren't alone. There are SO many of us out there. I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar myself. I had been diagnosed with a long list of disorders prior to this and they all wrapped up into this one. I can't give much advice yet...

How do you deal with it? Do you or they have other psychological issues as well, like schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder? I'm bipolar & I think I'm obsessive-compulsive as well. Just wondered what others are doing...

kamokittie I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder at the age of 14, then with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder at the age of 19, and I've recently been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and I'm 23 now. It's frustrating to have SO many different...

Or had racing thoughts? Or paranoia? Or thought you were someone famous because of bipolar disorder? I have. It would be nice to hear other people's stories & recollections so I don't feel like I'm crazy!

kamokittie I tend to have the racing thoughts moreso than anything...and that is absolutely debilitating at times. Paranoia is also a problem, but not so much. I usually just feel someone is out to get me, or just flat out against me. I've never thought I was someone...

kamokittie Personally, I'm actually glad that Christmas is over. I can't stand this time of the year because nothing is the same as it used to be with my family. I used to cherish this time of year. Things change and I don't deal with it well. I get aggrivated with...
