Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I just told my mother I was just approve for my social security. She said the only time you can get it that fast is if you have a mental problem. She started making fun of me cause of my mental issue she said that I do not have. People say find some supportive people for bipolar disorder hell why do that if you do not even have the support of your mother. She said since you been approve now you do not have to take the medication which I have not in couple of weeks but still it hurt my feelings. Its funny other people when I ask if they see sign of my disorder they say yes my parent ever see it just like I do not see it either.
I have learned EARLY on not to rely on people's support just because they are related. Love comes from all walks of life. Don't lose hope...look around you. They are there...it could be a teacher,DS member, church...a volunteering job....you never know where you will be touched by a loving CARING person.
It can be hard when the people that you expect support from are unable or unwilling to give it. Support groups like these can help. It helps to know that you are not alone in the way you feel.
Sending you good thoughts.
My mom was okay, but she died before I was diagnosed. God--
I know not to talk to my father--he's not that great at being supportive, but I dont' worry about him anymore.
Eventually, the wounds heal, they do.
