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 managed to survive, too. I'm in quite a bit of physical pain right now and I (and I'm admitting this) was a bit of a whiner. My hubby felt bad for me and we left the party at his grandmother's house early. Came home thankfully and opened presents. It was a small, quiet Christmas --- exactly how I like it! 6 people at the party, max.
You did your "family thing " you spent time with a friend
Low key and quiet is good !
