I WANT TO GIVE A GREAT BIG HELLO TO MY NEW BUDS! I am glad you guys decided to give me your addy and share our lives together and help each other get through the ups and downs of our lives. LOVE YOU GUYS! If you are living and succeeding or just living and trying to figure out how to succeed with your bi-polar (manic and depressive) then this is the place for you. We will share and learn how each of us is getting on with life with one of the often most misunderstood mental illnesses. (But to be honest all mental illness are misunderstood). We all need to find new ways and find from others some of the tried and true ways that some of us are making year to year, month to month and sometimes day to day. I hope you enjoy and appreciate this group....

"If I convince myself that I am so totally different in my life experiences from all of you, then I feed my isolation and stay stuck. I call it "terminally unique." ACOA guideline

Finding Your Next Step In Life
Our lives are made up of a complex network of pathways that we can use to move from one phase of life to the next. For some of us, our paths are wide, smooth, and clearly marked. Many people, however, find that they have a difficult time figuring out where they need to go next. Determining which "next step" will land you on the most direct route to fulfillment and the realization of your life purpose may not seem easy.

There are many ways to discover what the next step on your life path should be. If you are someone who seeks to satisfy your soul, it is vital that you make this inquiry. Often, your inner voice will counsel you that it's time for a change, and it is very important to trust yourself because only you know what is best for you. Personal growth always results when you let yourself expand beyond the farthest borders of what your life has been so far.
