Hi

I joined here today but wanted to make a first post. I was diagnosed with bipolar in august and have been doing great on medication but I have found some things trigger me back to a bad place, like tonight an angry blog post from a friend sent me back a little and now im trying to figure out what to do with myself, I guess I have to find better ways of dealing with what other people give out, I would have to avoid all my friends to avoid bad things.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi here.
Hope I feel better real soon.

Hi hope. We all go through different ways of learning the same thing about how to handle our BP. There are days I can handle anything and days I have to be careful, and knowing which is which makes it easier for me. I had to choose between certain people in my life and sanity and I finally went for sanity.
Make your choice, but choose wisely!

To avoid all your old friends and it has to do with your health? Your health is more important and if your old friends don't understand that then they were never your friend in the first place. Right! For I would want my friend to be happy, healthy. Oh Yea! Welcome to DS...

Thanks everyone for the nice replies! I have just now asked certain friends if they could warn me in the title of their blog about the content, just a small *t* in the title. I hope it wasn't too much to ask, but I guess we will find out.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
