From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder
How often have you had someone say, "Just pull yourself together"? I know I have friends who just don't understand it when I get stressed out - they are sure they could deal with the problem. Well, maybe they could - because they don't react as badly - biologically - to stress as I do.
