I have always wondered if life isn't really a cruel endless swimming marathon where some contestants drown. Born of middle class Midwestern parents, I had every opportunity at success whatever that is. Yet even before biochemistry would rear its ugly head, I somehow had developed a sadness, a self-doubt, a dysthymia that made living seem more like labor than the effortless grace others appeared to have. Oh sure, I've experienced pleasure, even joy, but these are infrequent spouts from the blowhole - most of the time I lumber about the cold dark ocean envious of those basking in the bright blue light above.

My goodness that sounds so hard.
Are you all right?
I am from the same source. Middleclass...midwest....Myself is from Wisconsin. How about you?
My mother was so overwhelmed by Manic Depressive disorder and then late onset schizophrentic disorder hit.
Well we were sunk as a family.
My whole life filled with her.... my mother .....mother......then some more mother....
it's hard no matter what.
So I guess I am saying wow It can be hard.

I'm OK, Jai. I'm BP like your mom, but Li controls it well. I guess that while whales are beautiful cousins of ours, the dark ocean reminds me of depression. I work in Kenosha and married a wonderful woman from Wisconsin. I've noticed that you are a regular and very supportive contributor to this site. Thanks for your concern. T

My sister is BP as well and Lithium works for her too.
I am so glad you get some relief.
My mother couldn't use it so she ended up with Stelazine sp?.It seems like folks from Wisconsin are really nice. I don't know why. They seem open and available.
I guess I should include myself.thanks for noticing my posts.
That made me feel good.
