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's worth EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD.

Found out thats the cause so I...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things.
