Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner I really need to change the settings on that blog to accept comments without authorization. I forgot to do that.
I added your blog to my list because I think it’s still important for people to understand how loved ones deal with someone being bipolar and not just people that are bipolar. Your site is a welcome addition that I think will serve more people than you think that might stumble across it.
If you would like it removed though just let me know and I will make the correction.
Thanks for visiting my site I really do appreciate it.
I have updated my blog links and put you as an honorable mention so that visitors might not get the wrong idea from your page and still be able to enjoy your blog.
I hope that this makes things a little better for you. Thanks for the comment on my post. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day.
bine,
interesting one that number 45. My mother writes right-handed normally, but can switch to the left and write in mirror. She can even do both simultaneously. I think Leonardo da Vinci wrote all his notes in mirror.
