One of the constants of
Bipolar Disorder is dealing with
the feelings of isolation.
I want to reach out,
I really do.
I want to belong.
I really do.
I want to connect.
I really do.
I want community.
I really do.
However, there's this great
fear of rejection and of course,
the feelings of paranoia.
I love to laugh.
I really do.
I love to see them laugh.
I really do.
I have a man who loves me and wants me to stay.
I really do.
I have so many blessings,
I really do.
And God continues to add blessings upon blessings.
He really does.
And we expect more blessings.
We really do.
So, forget the feelings of isolation,
forget the need to belong,
forget the need for community,
forget the need to connect,
forget the paranoia.
Because I really am not isolated.
I really do belong.
I have all the community in all the above.
It is here that I connect and
with family there is no thought of paranoia.
Home is Where I Belong,
