Welcome to the Surviving Bipolar Society Blog

What a creature of strange moods [Winston Churchill] is - always at the top of the wheel of confidence or at the bottom of an intense depression. - LORD BEAVERBROOK (1879-1964)

I have coped many years with a debilitating disease.  Lately I've spent a lot of time looking for resources to help my loved ones understand what I'm going through, and a LOT of time looking for people who might understand what I'm going through. So I decided to dedicate a blog to my struggles and triumphs, and I invite you to share. Furthermore, if you are bipolar please get in contact with me at ie_elana@hotmail.com because I would love for you to also share your experiences on this blog (so you know, it's not just me whining to anyone who will listen).

If a man comes to the door of poetry untouched by the madness of the Muses, believing that technique alone will make him a good poet, he and his sane compositions never reach perfection, but are utterly eclipsed by the performances of the inspired madman. - PLATO (428/427 BC- 348/347BC)
