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.
As of midnight last night, I have finished my Associates in Business! I've been working on the degree for two years, while also working full time...plus, you know, family stuff. Some parts were extremely rough when I started to feel overwhelmed. After crying every single day of my Algebra course about halfway through the degree, I finally broke down and enquired about ADA accommodations. With documentation from my pdoc, I was granted extra time to complete assignments, and they sent me software that would read the course text for me. (I'm BP and ADD). I am SO glad I did that! Anyway, I earned the degree online, and I don't think that I could have done it any other way with the combination of bipolar and the logistics of life...In two weeks I will be starting on my Bachelors in...get this...Psychology! I think that having bipolar kinda gives you an awareness of others and their behavior that people who aren't as SELF-aware might have. That is why I don't think it is too odd to want to major in psychology. What do you think?

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...
Shout out for you Encore!!
Each of us must climb our separate mountain
To reach at last our own extended view.
We can be no more than what we are,
Yet that is quite enough for us to do.
The world is far too great for comprehension,
And so we only know what we can know.
But given the abilities we're given,
That's still a long and weary way to go.
Yet on the way, how beautiful the moments!
How good it feels to have some skill or art!
How wonderful to pause in awestruck wonder
At what must fill the unsuspecting heart!
And so we're proud of each of you today
For all you've learned, and all you've tried to learn.
Knowledge brings the deepest satisfaction,
Not least because it's something that you earn.
Huggles !
Good luck with the next degree! peace, t
