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.
my therapist and I were talking yesterday and she said
half joking - but it was clearly very poignant too -
that a therapist's job is to help people be their own therapist
as well as be their own case manager.
I thought this was so amazing! It's true and I sincerely am inspired
to be more proactive along those lines.
I'll always seek therapy- but recognizing the importance of
being self responsible like this is really motivating!
I was talking to 'acuriousfish' about starting
a group here, where we all add tips and advice
as to how to be our own "CASE MANAGERS" - -
I need to contact DS to see if that would be ok - but I'd like
to hear what you guys think about it too!?
I have no experience with case managment - and navigating
all the essential actions of life for those with a disability or not is seriously difficult for anyone...But if we each can share
little things to help make it easier... I think that might be
a useful discussion group?
Thoughts??

What are your five favorite tv shows right now? **And hey, if you're a tv watcher of any sort (or love movies, or really anything pop culture-related for that matter), why not also check out our sister group, "That's Entertainment!" - https://www.dailystrength.org/group/thats-entertainment-tv-and-film-group


You know I'm a fan of self-care in any form. If being our own "Case Managers" gives us insight to handle things better I'm all for it!
You don't have to write DS about it.... If you go to the page with "My Groups" on it on the top right corner it says 'Create a Group" and you just have to click on that to start your own group
I hope that it goes really well!!.... Big hug.... xo
I just posted something in the new group :)
I’m gonna try to send the link I hope it works ..
