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.
Everyone seems so down. I suppose it's THAT time of year. And there has been some negative energy, well lots floating around.
But I wanted to say, to all of us, something I have been thinking a lot about.
And that is:
We are, altogether, a STRONG people. A strong TRIBE even. Because we SHOW UP. We TAKE THE MEDS. WE DO THE WORK. We know it's never going to get better and WE STILL SHOW UP EVERY DAY.
Yeah, we stumble and we fall. We despair, we even try to kill ourselves (present company not excluded!) but we CONTINUE to fight.
And that's worth EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD.
EVERYONE is SO SPECIAL.
(Can I get a hallelujah?)
Blessings to everyone to keep the boogeymen away tonight.

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...
