My name is Kevin. I suffer from Bipolar 1 Disorder with schizoaffective features. I volunteer some time during the week with Cat's in Need, a PetsMart organization. I can hit the wall of depression pretty easily with catatonic features. I suffer from hallucinations and delusions. I can imagine many of you out there suffer from many of the same things I do, just in a different appearance. I have many of the attributes of agoraphobia because I tend to on a regular basis shut myself out from the world. I unplug my phone, make my home as dark as possible, and ruminate. Well this is it for today.
Thank you

Hi Kevin! Welcome to our webring. I look forward to reading your blog. :)
hi. it's good to read your first post. very courageous. i'd love to know more about you and animals and your volunteer experience. i have a dog who features as the main character in my blog. i find that animals are easier to deal with than fellow humans. i heard recently that people's blood pressure goes down when they are with their pets and goes up when they are around other people! do you have a companion animal/pet?
Hi Marlena!
It was very kind of you to write such nice things.
Yes, I have a cat named Giget. It loves me as much as I love her. As the Beatles said in their Abbey Road Alblum, " The love you take is equal to the love you make." That is how she is. I live in Ontario, California. I am an hour from the ocean, and an hour from the mountains. I should be writing another post soon, so look for it. Please keep in touch as I have found difficulty finding friends who accept my disorder.
Again, thank you for opening up a little of yourself.
A Bipolar Friend...Kevin
k, what are your schizoaffective symptoms?
Thank you for reading my blog. Schizoaffective Disorder within the Bipolar Disorder realm is hallucinations and delusions marked by serious paranoid symptoms(believe you are being watched or followed or talked about). Hallucinations can be directive and commanding by telling or asking you to perform a task or allow them to enter your house. It happens in both rapid cycling, and mixed mood states. Take Care...Kevin
