You have no doubt seen or heard the commercials: "Where does depression hurt? EVERYWHERE. Who does depression hurt? EVERYONE." Mental illnesses can consume you, take over your entire life and hurt everyone around you if you let it. I am no exception.

My life feels like I am stuck riding on a rollercoaster in the middle of a hurricane. I have ups and downs, and I have left a path of destruction in my wake. My sanity dangles on a tiny fragile string, and through this blog I am giving the world a look into my broken mind and my unstable life.

In the end, I am just a girl trying to maintain my sanity in a candy-coated world of misery. Here you'll get a glimpse at just how true those commercials are. Keep your arms and legs inside the blog at all times, hold on tight, and prepare yourself for a very bumpy ride ...

Study for partners of bipolar sufferers

While I was roaming around Twitter tonight, I stumbled across a message about someone conducting a research study on the partners/spouses of people with bipolar disorder. It looks at how a person's bipolar affects the quality/status of a relationship.

People who meet the following qualifications are eligible to participate in the study:
  • Your partner/spouse has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder by a licensed mental health worker;
  • You have been living together for at least 6 months;
  • You are at least 18 years of age.

You can participate in the study about your relationship experiences either online or by postal mail. Responses to the research forms are confidential. If you wish to participate in the study online, here is the link -- http://psyresearch.org/bipolar and the password is bipolar3.

If you wish to participate in the study by mail, e-mail your postal address to bipolarstudy17@gmail.com and you should receive a packet shortly.
