About

I’m a 47 year old bipolar, anxious, depressed, ocd, agoraphobic woman with borderline personality traits.

More importantly, I’m a 47 year old woman with a wonderful husband, three fantastic stepchildren and a beautiful grandson. I live in the Southern United States, love to garden, read and bake.

I started this blog as a way to connect to the Mental Health Community at large. It gets lonely in my head and I’m tired of spinning around in there.

I’m hoping that my blog will help others. Maybe my experiences can help make sense of yours. And, I want to learn from you. I want us all to be able to recognize that we are not alone, spinning around in our own heads. We need only open our computer to find someone who understands.

Peace & Love

    Thank you for giving my blog a follow. I am beginning to understand the courage it take to face the mental health issues that you do, so I hope to read a bit more in your blog and perhaps educate myself some more.

    Leslie, only fellow bipolars would understand this, but you really did inspire me to defrost my freezer. As insignificant as that may sound to ordinary folk, it shed a great weight off my shoulders. I’m looking forward to following your blog

      Thank you so much! I’m glad that I could help. I have been inspired in much the same way by many other bloggers here on WordPress. You never know when someone is going to say the exact right combination of words to motivate you.

    Happy connecting and nice to meet you. I suffer badly from anxiety. Although this isnt BP maybe WP is the perfect place to unload. Wishing you a blissful weekend 🙂
