Do you read BP Magazine? I love it.
I also write a column for the magazine where I get to go into a personal topic in depth and tell a bit about myself in the process. There is always so much to write about – this time I chose the topic of cleaning up after a nasty mood swing. So much is affected when a person gets sick for a long period of time. Even a few weeks of a suicidal depression can change everything at work for example. This is especially true with mania- especially if sex or money were involved!
If you have never read the magazine, you are really in for something special. I recommend it for anyone and everyone affected by bipolar disorder.
Here is a link to read more about the magazine. I think you will really enjoy the articles. I have been in since the beginning and I still learn something new every single time I get my copy.
If you already get the magazine, let me know what you think!

Responding to the weight management post, i.e., COUNT ME IN! God knows I’ve counted everything else…calories, carbo grams, fiber grams, heart rate active, heart rate resting…I’ve counted everything! Unfortunately, I also counted on the diet du ‘jour to work. So count me in. What do I have to lose!? Well, about 40 pounds really, but, hey, WHO’S COUNTING?
FYI: I don’t know how many people you are able to work with for this sort of thing in Portland, Julie, but I live in Longview, WA about 44 miles to the north. While I can’t pop down there every day, I am a stay-at-home mom and neighbor, of sorts, so use me if it helps. Keep up the good work! Michele P.S. I’ve always said I’ve probably lost over 400 pounds – the same 20 pounds, over and over and over!
