Hey all,
I will be stepping away from blogging about bipolar disorder for a while, and maybe completely. I’m to the point where I really feel the need to stop defining myself in this way. Of course I say this now and the next crisis that hits I may be right back here looking for the support only this community can give.
This is a remarkable community, and I don’t want to step away completely. The support I’ve gotten here, and the friendships I’ve formed have been wonderful, maybe even life-saving. I don’t want to lose that, and will continue making rounds of blogs from time to time. So please don’t take my silence as a bad thing, or as a lack of caring for the people in this community. I don’t want to lose those friendships, even though I won’t be in contact as often.
I hope to be able to continue blogging and writing, so far I still am not able - the ideas and motivation aren't back yet. When they do return, I started a blog on a hobby site I have, The X-Ring, which is located at http://xring.us . This is a site where I store my writings, and am accumulating material for a book. I’m not a technically competent writer, but it’s my enjoyment and therapy.
Happiness and good health to all.

Take care, Jon, I look forward to keeping up with you regardless of your focus! :-)
I completely understand, Jon. It's weird, I've been identifying with myself less & less as bipolar. I think what we're both doing or trying to do is healthy.
Be well, friend.
Thanks for letting us know where to find you--and I don't think it really matter at all how you "define" yourself. I come around just for what you are.
Thanks to all, the comments are much appreciated.
I understand what you're talking about. I have taken down my actual bipolar blog. It helped at one point, but then it just seemed to make things worse. I have stopped reading and thinking about the whole bipolar thing as much as I was. I know that some huge stress thing will come along in my life one day and I'll be tossed back into that place again. For now I am just enjoying a normal feeling life for now. Take Care.
I am sorry that you are stepping away! maybe you should reconsider.
Sometimes we need to step back, but not really step away.
