I am so thankful for my HP. A girl came to my Alanon meeting today who is a recovering alcoholic and I have seen her at the AA speaker meetings that I also attend, but I've never seen her at Alanon.

SHE IS BIPOLAR TOO!! Today's topic was on feelings and boy am I having a lot of those. So I talked about my disorder in the meeting. After the meeting she came up me, gave me a huge hug which I very much needed and told me she is bipolar too.

I rescheduled my missed doctor's appointment for tomorrow and when she heard this she offered to not only go with me and then offered to even take me! Thank you lord. I said to her, "That would be so wonderful because my driving has become very scary." She pointed to her arm and said, Look I'm getting goose bumps. God brought us together today!"

My sponsor was there today and she was also happy about it. She doesn't know much about bipolar and knows that this Alanon sister will be able to help me in ways that she can't.

I've been crying all day for no real reason and on a 10 mile drive to a photo assignment I forgot where I was going 5 times.

I'm still very scared, but it makes me feel better to know that I now have a person I can call who understands what I'm dealing.
