Welcome
Approximately 15-20% of those who suffer from bipolar disorder die by
suicide. This site is dedicated to the memory of those who have gone,
and to those who might well follow, down the same sad path in their attempt
to find that final cure for an incurable illness. It is my hope that FyrenIyce
will help in preventing others from becoming one of those statistics.
Assuming you've found this site by design rather than happenstance, let
me extend to you a warm invitation to read and learn about the virtual
community of FyrenIyce. Members of this community are 'normality-challenged',
mentally ill, crazy, eccentric etc. It matters not how we label it, bipolar
people are a bit different. The goal here is to learn about the disorder,
to develop constructive ways to deal with it, and to provide support for
all who are affected by it. So let's get on with it shall we?
You see, if you are visiting us here, chances are you either are manic-depressive
(bipolar), or you are concerned about someone who is, or might be. Either
way, you will find a wealth of information on this particular mood disorder:
everything from diagnosis, treatment, drugs and their effects, an email
support group, and finally, a real-time support group on a MOO (details
on each can be found in the following pages). Feel free to come and go
here as you wish.
