Hey there Red Oak Pony! Good on you for getting out there and grabbing life by the hojos!! One of my sisters has battled with bipolar for ages, including a couple of stints in psych hospital. Although she is doing really well these days, the idea of starting a sport where she was out of her comfort zone, with a bunch of people she didnt know, is way too much for her to handle. Let alone kendo where you have to run around yelling and generally feeling like a dufus for the first few weeks! Hell, I still feel like dufus half the time.

You sound like an inspirational person, particularly to start a thread where people can discuss your condition. I take my hat off to you!

Did you start at your dojo with friends for support, or did you jump in on your own? How did you find the first few practices?
