welcome! I'm new, too, but I used to be on a different name. It will be nice to have some active members in here. I plan on posting later tonight.

Also wondering, have you read Charlotte Perkins Gilman? She was a feminist writer, not generally seen as 'mad', but one of her stories, The Yellow Paper is really really good. I recommend it, if you're looking for something to read. =)

Hi Megan, my name is Alice I'm also 15 and I was wondering how you were diagnosed with having bipolar disorder as I think I might have it but can't really talk about it to my parents easily.
