Bipolar Family: Gratitude Day 3

Today, my wife and I headed south to Columbia, SC. We were able to visit some dear relatives of my wife. I am grateful for my family--both immediate and extended.

About Me:

Like a lot of people with bipolar challenges (I really don't like the term disorder), my mood swings began to manifest in my late teen years.
I am now in my mid-40's, so I've had quite a history of facing the associated challenges.
Like so many things in life, dealing with severe mood swings is challenging. Recently, a friend described how he viewed facing severe challenges. He said, "Everything in life is a blessing. Just some of it comes in some pretty crappy wrapping paper."
So, I've had quite a bit of experience in dealing with gifts related to severe mood swings. This blog is a place where I will share my experiences. Hopefully, some of those who read it will find it helpful, either providing a glimpse into what it is like to face the challenges of a brain that works differently than average (whatever that may mean).
