the crazy life . . . or is it?

So, a couple of friends have persuaded me to start a blog.  I hate technology - hate it!  But, I love to write. So, therein lies the problem.  Do I conquer my technology fears in order to write something for others to read.  And, if I do write, what should it be about?  A friend shared that a blog should be a place where one shares their expertise in a particular area.  When I think about what I'm an expert at, only a few things come to mind.  Well, actually only one thing comes to mind.  What am I an expert at?  Really?  I'm an expert at being crazy.  Laugh, if you will, but it's true.  I am actually, certifiably, crazy.  Only a few of my close friends know this about me, so I can't believe that I'm sharing this with any and every person who will read this, but I have the bipolar disorder.  I am bipolar.  I hate admitting that to people.  I always feel so judged.  Mostly, it's because when someone commits a heinous crime, the comment is often made that they had/have some type of mental illness.  So, I fall into this category where if you're labeled it, you're often thought to be just plain "crazy."   But, I don't like labels, and, to be quite honest - I don't think anyone who has a mental illness should be judged by some label.  I live a fairly normal, stable life in a small community in the midwest.  I watch these terrible crimes that are commited and wonder what the person who committed the crime was thinking right before they carried out their act?  And, I'll tell you what,  I thank the Lord that I have been diagnosed, and medicated to the point that I am not sitting in a jail cell somewhere.  Because, let me tell you something, I could easily have been.  So, come along for the ride, if you will and let me share my "crazy" story of life with you.
