    I enjoyed reading your story. I think it helps to read about other people's experiences and I'm sure that your story will help others to let them know that they are not alone. I can relate to some parts and know other people with similar experiences. It sounds like you have many a lot of progress. I've lens rolled you on my Squidoo pages about coping with bipolar disorder and my page about hypomania.

    Wow wow wow, Tammy! What an incredibly insightful, soul-sharing blog! I was so impressed with your insightfulness and honesty. Bravo! Well done! I'm so glad to be getting to know you better through our little world of Twitter, and consider you a friend.

    WOW, I have followed you on Twitter for awhile, I think you were out of town or gone fora bit, but then I seen this post about this lens today (with your whole new look to, he he). You are a very strong woman to not only come to terms with half of these issues and happenings but to share them in the hopes of helping others~ BRAVO!
    I am new to Squidoo and am learning as fast as I can ....it was nice to slow down and read a lens that reads more like a great magazine article then directions or and advertisement!
    Thanks for sharing and I will keep you in my prayers. Oh and insurance sucks....I just wanted to add that, all them are going to hell for making it where someone like you who needs help and is willing to get help can't afford help......wth!

    I'm just grateful that in for once in a lifetime I had the chance to meet you and to know you through your blog and lenses. You are beautiful person inside and out and no matter what circumstances we had gone through doesn't define us as a person rather it made us a better person. Glad to have you as a friend and a fellow Squidooer! Thank you for sharing your story. Big Hugs :-)

    I appreciate that you've shared your journey so honestly. You've shown tremendous courage in the face of some very difficult challenges. I know your story will inspire others.

    "and to this day I notice long haired men first!" "I've blocked out so much of my past because of the pain" We seem like kindred spirits in many ways. I have bipolar disorder, and can relate to many of your feelings. Hugs to you for your courage to share your story. Praying things get better soon. You are an amazing woman!

    Well, if I may say, your story is interesting. I feel for your rough patches in your life story, though. I hope it gets only better and better. Squidoo must be something that appeals to you to start over like that. I can stay with the meds and the cost. I am glad I can. Take care of yourself first.

    Well written. Thanks for being so open.

    thanks so much for your comment...I wish I felt life a winner. I know it will come, in time. I am just so so tired of picking up and starting over again!
    This has to end!
    I have declared that since last August and pretty soon my prayers HAVE to reach their destination!
    :-D

    love to you

    I think this is the first lens of yours I have read, and what a lens :) I would say your name fits you perfectly.....and the one recurring theme is picking yourself up and starting over again. That makes a winner every time.......

    Thanks for sharing so much about yourself and your interests. I can relate to your recurring love of ancient history, although I generally delve more into Asian and European history. I do not suffer from any psychological challenges, but have definitely had my share of emotional and physiological bereavements. I wish you great luck in your endeavor to create a living in your internet marketing ventures.

    The Giant Squid Greeters are kicking off a fun team challenge. You are hereby formally invited to join my team: Kab's Fab Squid Squad. I think you'd be a great addition to the Squid Squad. The deadline to join is May 1.
