About Me
My name is Natalie. I joined this group to help find support from other people that have bipolar loved ones. I have a lot of support from my family and my boyfriend but am hoping to find a few other coping strategies. My Mom is a bipolar with self medicates with drugs and alcohol resulting in psychosis.

Crossing my fingers I'll be able to put in a restraining order on Wednesday.
Wishing my all that Travis spine is okay.

Hi! It's all very new and a friend from AA said the first mo will be this way. She has written me 3 x already, which makes me think of her too much. She has a list of things she wants, that are not nec needs, so I mentioned this to her, and I will talk some more with her friend and the counselor. I want her to get well so much! You can understand, with your mother. I pray for all of us who talk here. Talk soon. Long day, tired. Won't be off for a good break till Sat. Take care of you, I have a feeling you are not good enough to yourself. You have to take care of you!

I'm sorry all this stress stuff is on your plate! Sometimes you do have to shop around for counselors. Some are on a sliding scale basis, too, or free. They have helped me over the yrs along with Al-Anon meetings. I hope today is an easier and brighter day for you. Thinking about you.
Hug
Hi I don't understand the message I just got back from out of town so I am so behind. what is with the restraining order. Be careful. God Bless You

Support Groups
Close Family & Friends of Bipolar
My mother is bipolar, resulting in excessive drug and alcohol abuse. Looking for new coping strategies to deal with this - yet again.
Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
Just here to talk. My Mother is addicted to pain killers on top of having an alcohol addiction and being bipolar. I've lost several people that I've cared for through drugs.
Treatments
- Al-Anon Working / Worked
- Already I feel more comfortable in this online support group than I did at Al-Anon, my life is crazy enough dealing with everything as it is so rushing from work to get to a meeting just added to my stress. I do feel that alanon is great for MANY people. Just not for me.
- Patience Not Working
- Worked the first time around, the second, and the third but I don't have any left to use on this 4th visit to the hospital.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Pushed me off to a good start, helped me clear my mind but dealing with sick/addicts there is SO MUCH detail - you can possibly know where to start, exspecially in an hour. Worrying about insurance didn't help either.
- Writing Working / Worked
- It's easier to write it down - a lot of times I cry when I talk about those that I love who are sick.
Open Stress Management
Feeling totally overwhelmed
Treatments
- Music Working / Worked
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
