It is pretty there and I also love to float down the Guadalupe River..... 

Yup, all states have their "undesirable areas"   LOL. 

Well, I have to get ready for classes. Almost time to hand over the torch to the man and get out of here. I love "my time", even if I am in a classroom. 

I just wanted to tell you that you are a person who makes me REALLY think. 

Finding out "who" we are is pretty powerful in many aspects. 

You have my ultimate respect for your wisdom.

I knew it.  

I was so happy, clapping and bouncing around on my couch, yelling "Whoo Hoo!" 

Boy does he have his work cut out for him! 

Oh no, you didn't hurt my feelings in any way. 

Some peopole just don't know. What it is called in that town is simply: TX A&M-Commerce. 

I was working on my general education at the time, so the programs didn't matter to me. As I said before, if I didn't I am now, Commerce sucks! This small town is just simply horrid. 

As far as me being from TX. That is were I was born and raised. Nice place to visit, but never want to live there again. I love where I live in IN, so this is home to me. 

Just wanted to let you know that you didn't offend me in anyway. 

Have an awesome day!! 

I'm sorry, but there aren't any "odd" oldies in my opinion. 

This is exactly our point........watch what and how you say things.  

To me "odd" means "odd".  

whatever, I'm done. 

Glad you stopped by. 

Yup, the meds game isn't very fun, but in the grand scheme of thing is sooo very important. Since being Bipolar is all about a CHEMICAL IMBALANCE, meds definitely help balance things better. Side effects, take your pick....they all have something. But the pros wayyyy outweigh the cons. 

Keep on keepin on. 

THANK YOU! 

Having the right balance is one of the hardest things to achieve. 

BUT....on the other hand......... 

NOT BEING ON MEDS, is probably worse, because you might  think you are doing ok, but to everyone else, they want to know "what's wrong with you"????? 

Some try St. John's Wort, then it either works for a little while ( if you have MILD depression)....or it doesn't, OR it throws you into a manic state.  

I truly don't think the "natural" way is very smart at all. Unless you don't have real depression, you can't answer that question logically. 

And depression is only one aspect of the disorder, mania is completely different. Unless, you've gone through it, YOU HAVE NO CLUE!!!!! 

I just wanted to post my views re: meds vs. no meds.......as this board has laid dormant and if any questions arise.....we have many people that have 10+ years experience with this disorder.
