In the Beginning...

The day light hours have been drenched with rain and clouds today. I have spent move of the day contemplating whether to start a blog or to keep my thoughts to myself and my diary. I have concluded to begin what will be the start of a view into the heart of a woman who has suffered and is learning to live with an illness known as Bi-Polar Disorder or Manic Depression. I wish to reach out with my words to those who have been left alone, gone astray, felt betrayed by their own minds and bodies, and been left to clean up the pieces after episodes that many do not understand. I do not want my experiences, my defeats or my accomplishments to go on without some verbal coverage. People with this illness must know they are not alone. Their families must know they can make it through the fear and utter helpless frustration at watching loved ones go from mountian highs to valley lows. Through doctors that do not seem to understand anything, to hospitalizations and suicide attempts, to stable medicated times of calm and well being.
This is the beginning of the Tales of One Honeybee who is buzzing to find not only where I fit in this world, but where others like me can fit as well. I want feedback and words from your lives and experiences. We are in this together. Let the stories begin.
