T H E G R E A T B E L O W........



Have I ever mentioned that having bi-polar disorder isn't easy? Sometimes it's BEYOND not easy.....sometimes it is absolutely horrifying. Recently I have gone from the ecstatic high of our beloved Georgia Bulldogs crushing Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl and being surrounded by wonderful friends and family to the lowest of lows....rather quickly.

I remember two years ago on a family vacation to Destin I hit rock bottom in the mood department because I forgot to pack all my medications. I actually sat on the beach alone for four hours contemplating what it would feel like to walk into the ocean...and keep walking...into the great below. Oh yes, The Great Below was my theme song that entire summer. A summer packed with all kinds of mental goodness......

The time for The Great Below has returned with one hell of a darkness that has me in its grip. I feel introverted and so frustrated. The only good thing that will come out of this misery is some damn good writing and artwork. See? I am optimistic after all! /sarcasm/

I cannot pretend to fully understand the highs and the incredible lows that come with bipolar disorder...I can only tell you that I HATE that YOU, such a beautiful and talented person, must endure the "polar coaster". But let me tell you that I am thankful that you DO RIDE IT OUT because you gift all of those who love you with your creativity, your presence, your wit and your beauty. By the way - that is a knock-dead gorgeous picture of you on facebook...

I'm sorry you've been feeling this way hinny. It's awful when the low's grab hold.
You're an awesome chica and you deserve the best in life. Keep creating!
