I am "happy" when a person realizes that happiness comes from within and not from things and people outside themselves.

"The day came when she got tired of looking on the outside for what she needed to find within, and that was the day that glimmers of light appeared everywhere around her at last."

Wow, Burt - that was an amazing list. I wonder if we all sat down and thought if we could come up with so many things to be happy about as you.

What I was going to say is that even though I suffer from Depression & Bipolar, overall I am happy. I know when it is my illness affecting me and when I am genuinely sad about something - I can tell the difference. So I have learned to be happy in spite of my illness. To be grateful for what I have.

Hi Chelle,

Yep, mes got the bi-polar and depression also.

Been institutionalized and in hand-cuffs from 14yrs to 48yrs.

Magical think seems to work, contrary to popular belief.

My Buddy in Brazil has done extensive research and has come to the conclusion that bi-polar is actually 'waking-up' and / or enlightenment.

He's been in 4-point leather straps like me.

Sooooo, here's the beginning of his story...

I hope it can help you in some way.

Lot's 'o Material -- bi-polar has gone up 4000% since the beginning of the millenia.

So, the mandate is to heal young lady... heal.

My Grandma had it, My Aunt, and My Mom...

Two older brothers got a little I got the whole enchilada !

With Being in a healthier now and future,

I Remain,

By God's Grace,

Burt B.
