Hey – Happy stories only!

[farraway]

One day, a long time ago - and yes I was high - I ran into this woman - she was miss perfect - we loved each other intensively - and after only three days! - I suggested some sunshine - she agreed - and there we were on a beach in Mombasa - Kenya is a fascinating place – we did some game parks too – sure it was on MY credit card – but you know what? – I’ll remember the experience on my dying day!

Postscript: It took two years to pay off the credit card!

Some things I couldn't post. As for what's pg rated (although the poems were far from so I couldn't post them) I remember going to poetry readings (more "out there" ones they accepted this) and reading these crazy rants in a manic/semi-psychotic state. I got quite a reputation and featured readings and was published and the like. But as they say you grow up :.)
I still write though. Just differently.

One time, I was on a tropical island by myself soaking up the rays.  It was bliss.  Then I woke up and I was in a psychiatric hospital on massive doses of Seroquil (cringe).  It was a great vacation till I woke up of course.  Sometimes this bipolar thing has it's advantages.  I got a vacation that I didn't have to pay a dime for.  Life is grand.  :)

Regardless of whether I was high at the time or not I am grateful that I can look back over my life and say "I've done that" on so many counts.  They say variety is the spice of life - well mine has been very spicey, lol!

We have the best of all, we have the worst of all. I was just counseling someone here the other day that it's a mixed bag - though it's not EQUALLY mixed for each of us. There is no one I'd rather be out exploring a hillside, watching an amazing movie, eating new and exotic cuisine than another one such as myself. We live every minute in 3D and technicolor. I've always thought it sadly ironic that though we truly appreciate the good things on a much deeper level we are often the ones, through our messy, disrupted lives, to not be able to have these things.

My story is about my partner. He has stayed by my side now for 7 years. Through my therapy for borderline and through the years until I got my bipolar diagnosis and on meds.

He is still here and our love is still growing stronger...

For me is great and so large that he is still here by my side. I just love him so much for staying.

Brilliant :-)

Guess when we're high we have experiences like no-one else...I've done similar myself and although there are debt consequences you only live once!!!

Nice to read your Happy story, it's not all bad to be Bipolar as we have the gift to experience things with such intensity.

Never regret anything that made you smile :-)  Well, that's my mantra anyway!
