Better to Have Fought and Failed….

Posted on May 3, 2006 in Mania

I like to say that before I enter a support group room, I remind myself that everyone in that room is mentally ill and that is not going to change when I get in there. But after last night’s experience I must add: mental illness does not free one of the burden of accountability, even in the highest mania. It is especially in mania that we must fight to own our words and deeds.
