[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 763782, member: 3305"] Thank you Fran. Please do tell. What is my “gift?” I used to think I was very intuitive and could read peoples feelings but not anymore. When I had the psychotic break due to going manic because of undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder many things changed. For one I slept for around 5 years afterwards…my brain was trying to heal. I also take lots of medication now for it. As you know from your research when you have Bipolar Disorder you are prone to extreme feelings and emotions. Now that I’m on so much medicine and have been since 2007 I no longer feel as intensely as I used to. I can’t even write the way I used to. I have no idea what my “gift” is now. Last year I lashed out at everyone over Jarod. This year feels like a year of change. Maybe it’s the prospect of working after all these years. I have thought about doing some volunteer work with the homeless in our community. Maybe there I’ll discover something about myself. I am a blank slate starting over after raising a family and losing a child. [/QUOTE]
