[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 144581, member: 1991"] There was a TV program on Aussie TV the other night, I mentioned it on the Good Morning thread. One of our top researcher/interviewers, Andrew Denton, has a TV show called "Enough Rope". This week the episode was called "Angels and Demons" and dealt with just what it is like to have bipolar. He was also talking to people with other problems, but by far the main focus was on bipolar. People described their voices, drew them and explained the problems they face. One woman who was writing songs describing the emotional turmoil, had some beautiful pictures of her 'good' voices (she calls them her angels, they look after her) as well as some ones of her demons. She said with therapy she is learning to recognise and ignore the demons. Follow this link - [url]http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/[/url] and you should be able to download transcripts & maybe view some or all of the program online. It really was good, this guy has always been brilliant at shining a light where people are too afraid to look - and making us look in spite of ourselves. Very compassionate, very enlightening. I just figured, it might help if you can really get inside difficult child's head to understand how he feels, so you can feel more confident in the decisions you have to make. Marg [/QUOTE]
