My teenage ...I admire your courage in posting this. My teenage son was diagnosed bipolar when he was in middle school and we have dealt with some of the stigma attached to the diagnosis. Sometimes the meds seem effective, but he outgrows the dosages on a fairly regular basis and we spend a lot of time and energy keeping him stable. But I have learned more about love, about courage, and the rewards of persistence from this child than from any other experience in my life. I wish you and your loved ones the best as you go through the process of learning what works for you.France Andrews Zevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153572476801165016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169114427196230433.post-47687275839324035512011-07-31T12:13:34.663-04:002011-07-31T12:13:34.663-04:00Keith, your courage is very inspiring.

That help - medication and therapy - has proven invaluable. <br /><br />It such a shame that mental illness still has such a stigma attached to it. But it's only by being honest with ourselves and our loved ones - and by letting the world know that yes, we may be broken in some way, but we are good and worthy people - that we can hope to lift the stigma.<br /><br />My best to you and Kim and your family, Keith. To paraphrase Janiece, my wish for y'all is a new life full of love and happiness.Carol Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06041453807217603422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169114427196230433.post-58379526276747930362011-07-10T09:09:54.600-04:002011-07-10T09:09:54.600-04:00So you have come out from your nutshell.

I did not know much about bipolar but now have a good insight and can better understand those whom are suffering from this disorder and realize now that there are people in my life that do suffer from bipolar and are sadly mistaken by people as just being difficult. I too, believe in the power of meditation and hope that you continue your journey to wellness and wish you all the luck in the world and applaud you for being honest about your condition and sharing it with the world!!!Jerinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169114427196230433.post-75002453496784565102011-07-08T09:53:09.281-04:002011-07-08T09:53:09.281-04:00Keith, thank you so much for having the courage no...Keith, thank you <em>so much</em> for having the courage not only to seek the help you need but also to share you journey with the world.
