I would like to tell you a little bit about me, ok. I worked for the city of San Diego, Calif. for 20 years in parks & recreation...then I wanted to move to were I was born, In Kansas. I got a job working for the city of Leawood, Ks. for about 2 years in parks & recreation. Then my bipolar condition became so bad I had to quit. I've been on diabilty since then...for nearly 10 years. Now I'm looking for part time employment in a less stresed job. I just hope I can do it. Right now I'm manic and have been so for 12 days now. I've been channeling myself into making new friends on DS. I've made 143 new friends in the last 12 days...WHEW!!! Being manic right now, it seems that I can't stop making new friends. I like doing this to fight off my lonliness and depression. I'll tell you a bit more about me later, ok. Clarence I would like to be your friend. Thanks

Hi, I read your post about hitting and thought I'd give just a little input. My son has Autism and many other dx's and he does the hitting thing. For my son we give deep pressure hugs and redirect the behavior. Sometimes kids hit for attention, or to get the their point across, or sometimes it's a pressure seeking action. My son still hits, but only the tables or the wall (had to reiforce the spot he hits). soemtimes he hits if he's upset or feeling bad. Because he doesn't have the words to tell us what's going on, he acts out by hitting. This way he get's your attention to what he's trying to tell you. My son also loves vestibular input (motion-swinging, riding, ect.). He loves to swing, it calms him. He loves the pressure he gets from water. Bath time is about 45min. to 1 hr. There are alot of ways to give the input that our kids are seeking. we try real hard not to feed into the negative (hitting) and try to redirect. My son most recently started hitting alot again. We think it's got alot to do with the transition into middle school this year. We've noticed now that when he's hitting he's got his eyes closed tightly and once he starts you can't stop him. I've been telling him to open his eyes and look at me, that usualy breaks the cycle. Weird huh? It's like he's in another world at that time. anyway I hope things get better for you. Take Care Dar

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I am 30 yrs and I have battled with Bi-P since I was 13. Just seems to take a different road every couple years. It started with self infliction to rage. Now the journey starts to find the right meds/ drained mentally. My rage picks when it want to have a visit. I need to reach out and come to understand what I can do to help myself/make friends along the way. I have 2 children. Everyone I know is scared of Bi-P like it's a germ. No one knows what to say so they say nothing; sound familiar.
