BPD: How It Can Destroy Your Relationship
BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) is, as the name suggests, a personality disorder that manifests itself in many different ways. I have been diagnosed with it myself and let me tell you this: it's pretty darn scary. One minute you're the happiest you've ever felt, then the next you've never felt worse and you're slashing your wrist with the nearest sharp object. It's an awful mental illness to be diagnosed with, and it's so misunderstood by the public.

Falling Down the Rabbit Hole
Hi, I'm Amanda, and I have manic-depressive disorder and general anxiety with mild OCD. It has taken me a long time to get to this point, where I can be matter of fact about it, where I can be like this is what I have and where I stand. It has been a long and bumpy road to get to this point.

Signs You Might Have Bipolar Affective Disorder
Most people know about depression, but don't realize that there are certain kinds of mental illnesses that can have depression appearing in cyclical ways.

A Polarizing View of Bipolar
At 49, after many a Dark Night of The Soul or a Howling at the Moon had brought me to study Psychology, delve deeply into Spirituality, analyze myself thoroughly, learn my anomalies, my personal triggers, the behaviour patterns, and pretty much feel I had a solid grasp of what Bipolar meant to me, how it played out or rather manifested within my core biochemical being...along came my new partner!

Recognizable Symptoms of Bipolar Depression
Prior to being diagnosed with a hormone disorder, doctors who I went to were completely and totally convinced that I was bipolar. I can totally see why they thought I was; the hormone disorder I had mimicked it perfectly — with the one exception of having physical symptoms as well.

Lost
These are my thoughts and how real bipolar depression can be. I just started writing and this is the outcome. As I sit on the hard wooden bench that was thoughtfully jimmy rigged with stuffing and fabric. I found myself staring blankly out the clear glass bay window with streaks of left over glass cleaner I don't know what to think. I'm looking through it like it really isn't even there. What ever it is I'm watching outside fly by, drive by, walk, run what ever it may be I don't have a single thought about. I'm numb. In a zombie type mode but still able to act accordingly. SOMETIMES! My mind, thoughts, emotions, all that is me gets the best of me. It's easier just to say fuck it sometimes and let be what's going to be.

Medz Part 2
I inhale, this time there is a sweetness on my breath that I haven't tasted in a long time. The light switch is triggered and everything I see and feel is incredibly pleasurable. My skin which once was a cold, rough wasteland is now a soft warm inviting oasis. My mind and body so in tune with my spirit and I finally feel complete. There is nothing I can not do there is no one I can't have. Everything I once thought impossible to obtain is now in the palm of my hand; there is no one who can stop me from reaching my pinnacle. The pure bliss and power I have are enough to make me invincible.

When Depression Feels like Rage. Top Story - September 2017.
Recently I have been dealing with a lot of changes in my life, something that can be difficult for most people, much less a person dealing with mental health issues. However, the emotions I felt during all of these changes were much different from anything I had experienced before. It sent me to the internet, searching for others who had gone through a similar experience. I wondered if something else was wrong with me, or if I had finally snapped. Why? Because I was angry.
