Survival is getting through each day even when you don’t want to. Sometimes survival sucks. I’m so glad you shared this. I’m not bipolar; I’m just a 64-year-old woman who has been depressed for more than 50 years. You speak to my soul, Sherman.

I'm so glad you got the truth of your story off your chest and are on the rebound, so to speak. I'm similar as far as basketball. Still playing at my advanced age of 68 - and I am still playing once a week in a half court game. My strategy is to never leave the court (by jumping) and shoot a quick release (because I'll never get a shot off otherwise). Basketball has been my favorite pastime for about 60 years and I will cry my eyes out when I have to quit - but not because of being bipolar. I don't wish that on anyone - even my worst opponent. Keep shooting, my man.
