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.
I'm pissed that I have this invisible disability and I don't even get any pity or good parking spots. :-)
I can honestly say though that my swings have gotten significantly better in the 9 years I have been in self-appointed outpatient recovery from a lifetime of violence. First in childhood, then I married the same thing. As the past is aired out, just my illness remains, and that alone is much easier to manage than my illness PLUS my old baggage. Stay in counseling, take your meds. MAKE ADJUSTMENTS to all of your recovery tools including counseling and meds when they don't work well, and try to get a loving second opinion before you make any decisions right now. Hang in there momma. She needs you, but really... you need her too.
