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 went to work earlier and it was a good start to the day.
It feels great to get out of the house and get involved in something.
I came home and adjusted to my plans here. They're much more sedentary activities here at the house and so it was a bit like a transition.
Though I posted on the site that I was having a good day, I started to slow down and eventually started to feel badly.
I think feeling badly was also due to an event I thought I should have handled better and just did not have the energy to be 'proper' about. That shit kills me. I feel like I am supposed to always have the "appropriate" response to tough situations or problematic moments. Because I acted a bit selfish in this case, I felt disappointed in myself and like I was a piece of shit. I can't give those ideas full attention. I won't make it a catastrophe.
I don't feel great right now but it's curious how I may not feel great but I am not overwhelmed by it like I used to get. I think that's a good thing.
Peace,
Mark

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...

Here is my new brother, copper :) He's so tiny! Moo and Tuck were ok with him on first meeting. Rocket due to his severe aggression will never meet Cooper.
it's great when `not good' is just `not good', and not `end of the world' catastrophy. that one took me a coon's age to learn.
