cheers, Wisconsinite.

I am TPB aka UM aka an unquiet mind.

But, I am, also, the 4 chicks that blog. OK…this might not be making sense. TPB/UM is one person (me). But, I am only one part of the whole. Without the other 3 bipolar chicks, I would not/could not be TPB.
It’s a long story. Got time? Well, pull up a chair and I’ll try to make sense.

Several years ago, I was a total wreck…a bigger mess than usual. I needed help badly. Not from a doctor but from “real” people. Long story short….I joined a mental health forum where I met the other 3 BP chicks. We’ve been through a lot…tears, laughter, anger, suicidal thoughts….you name it. I honestly don’t think that I would be here to write if it were not for my very real buddies.
We left the forum and one very smart BP chick (D) talked me into blogging with her. D is really intelligent. AND, she’s blunt and I like that.
D and I set up our own individual blogs, too. Blogs that allowed us to write about stuff totally unrelated to being bipolar. That’s how TPB came about. My other blog is http://www.trailerparkbarbie.wordpress.com

So, even though, I am one person, the other three make me feel like a whole unit.
Hope that makes sense.

I like your blog very much. People NEED to know that real people (their neighbors, their co-workers, their children’s teachers or PTA members, etc) suffer from mental disorders and addictions. I hope that you keep it up…writing about addiction. If we can get one person to read and relate, we’ve really done something wonderful.
