I wish you great success in your writing, and in life. And, Happy Holidays!<br /><br />Stan (MIU author)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261191785935798374.post-47593237728267497712013-12-20T06:48:25.212-08:002013-12-20T06:48:25.212-08:00Thank you Helena.Thank you Helena.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896656527438542035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261191785935798374.post-76500763349750863672013-12-20T06:47:33.187-08:002013-12-20T06:47:33.187-08:00Indeed, that is why we started the blog.Indeed, that is why we started the blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896656527438542035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261191785935798374.post-3638405567265773352013-12-20T06:36:14.054-08:002013-12-20T06:36:14.054-08:00I had great friends, a mother and a father who ral...I had great friends, a mother and a father who rallied around me, and a relative who knew the path I was on.

Depression, bi-polar, and other mental illnesses aren't easy to talk about, much less live through. But, I think it's therapeutic to talk about it, to be real and open about it, and hopefully our stories will encourage others to step into the light and face the world despite it all.

For some of us it is easier than others psychologically and in other ways. Some of us need our meds and even with our meds, the road and the journey are not easy.
