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.
You need a safe, calm place where you can process what just went down. We all care about you so don't throw in the towel.
What are you planning to do next to help you get through this?
i'm sorry it's so awful. people here do care about you.
kittykat....like i told you in a previous crisis post, you can go to the hospital, and they have to admit you if you are suicidal/ homicidal
there are also crisis lines you can call. or 911 if it gets too much.
(((HUGE hugs))) we still care.
You really need to get out of there. Be safe.
KITTYCAT PLEASE DISREGARD THOSE HURTFUL WORDS. SHE DOES NOT HAVE BP. I HEAR YOUR PAIN. I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I PRAY FOR HELP FOR YOU. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T JUDGE YOU. THERE ARE SO MANY FACTORS TO DEAL WITH. IF YOU HAVE BP AND DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SUPPORT IT IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO JUST SURVIVE. I HOPE YOU HANG IN THERE.
AND JAINIE I HOPE YOU GET IT THAT YOUR WORDS HAVE CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. BUT, I AM ASSUMING YOU POSTED IN IGNORANCE RATHER THAN HATEFULLNESS.
janie...i'm sorry i was so blunt and aggressive. i could have said what i was feeling in a much more polite manner, and i regret that. i do understand the point you were making, and i know you were genuinely concerened for kitty's well-being. :)
and kitty....thank you for the hug. you seem like a really decent person, and we all wish you some peace.
please forgive me that i am weak and vulnerable and hurt easily by careless remarks regardless of their intentions (i did give benefit of doubt at the end). please forgive me that i am easily hurt when people recommend "tough" love to suicidal people. please forgive me that i am in horrible pain and easily offended since my husband killed himself. i thought it might be safe here. though my heart goes out to kitty...this was also the very personal pain i experienced from reading these posts. please forgive me. i guess i don't get it. perhaps i'm just too fricken screwed up to be here so i'll leave.
