Forgive My Lack of Introduction

To be honest with you I was scared at first to reveal my name, simply because I wanted to speak freely and openly on my blog. And it is of a sensitive nature that may have some negative ramifications in my personal life if all is found out. I have decided that sharing my journey is more important, and I hope it has a larger impact on people if they know that a real person is behind it. A person just like many of you who are experiencing the highs and lows (that can at times lead to psychotic episodes) of bipolar.

My name is Paul Lennox, I am 26 and, have been living with bipolar much of my life. I remember not so long ago, talking with my doctor and asking her with tears in my eyes, "Just give me one good year that's all I want, one good year". I know many of you have been there, or are there now.

The purpose of this blog, is to share my experiences of Mania & Depression (they seem to be best friends) with people who are experiencing the same. I would also like this to be a portrait of one mans experience for friends, and loved ones of people with bipolar. I want very much for this to be an interactive blog. I want you to comment on the entry's, let your voice be heard share with me. I also want you to email me if you have a question about an entry, or just want to say hi.  This blog is not just for me remember I'm writing it for you.

I would like to leave you with a message my spirit guide has told me repeatedly:

Remember, You Are All So Dearly Loved
