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 illness has been getting worse (btw this morning I called my sister and apologized because I thought if I didn't,I'd go to hell for being unforgiving).
This morning I woke up after a good night's sleep,made coffee and got on Facebook.Some time ago I had 2 cats whom I adored,but I had to find another home for them because I guess they pooped in a neighbor's garden.Fortunately,one of my girlfriends was kind enough to provide that new home for Kitty Boy and Kitty Girl.A little while later,Kitty Girl ran away and has never returned.Kitty Boy is still with my friend,"Josie".This morning Josie posted a picture of Kitty Boy on Facebook,and for some reason in my ever-crazier mind,I thought she did that because she'd hurt Kitty Boy.I told another friend about it,and they were frankly alarmed that I would think Josie hurt my cat.That's when I knew I had to "get a grip" fast.I've been praying most of the day and I haven't gone out because I'm unstable and could have an accident.I can't believe I thought that about Josie and I've been beating myself up about it.I don't care about myself,I care about others.If I don't get it together,I'll have to go to the hospital tomorrow.Carla wanted me to go to the hospital today,but I begged her to wait 24 hours and give me a chance to pull myself together.
Sis Shirl told Carla (we had a 3-way phone conversation,that's what gave me the courage to apologize to Shirl) that she was frankly shocked that I was doing so poorly because up until last weekend I'd seemed fine (which is true).
I got upset last Friday because my new therapist had me talk to a chair in her office and pretend it was my Dad (who passed away 8 years ago this month).I honestly can't remember what I said,but at this moment all I care to say about Dad is that he had a hard life and wasn't really good with children,but when he became old he went to a nursing home and was given Seroquel,which actually turned him into a sweetheart practically overnight.I believe he made peace with God at the end and is in heaven now and that's it.I have no desire to dredge up things from the past about him;to me,he wasn't even the same person when he died at age 85.
I'm undergoing a med change,tweaking Latuda.The person who said that about Josie was not me.I wouldn't accuse a friend who helped me for all the tea in China.
I'm sorry again,I didn't mean it,somebody please help me.

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.

I heard someone say, "There are fires in Texas becuase someone is waving an American flag here in _____________." fill in the blank with any other state.
THAT is paranoia. So anyway, I hope you get it all worked out.
The other day I told someone at the community center near me that my husband has a limited driving policy so i have to drive him around. She said, how would Geico know if you drive him into the city for a show? I said....I don't know but they send people to check the odometer. She said, wow, sounds like Big Brother is watching.
That is paranoid, too I guess. Tho they have sent the "you are over the limit on miles" notice.
You and your 'boy cat' situation is stressful. I have heard lots of people make accusations when they are upset
