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.
Drink some warm tea (you crazy brits do that anyway :P), snuggle in a nice warm bed and tell the world to f@#k off, you're allowed to feel down when you have the flu.
BPs might have out of whack moods, but that doesn't necessarily preclude having moods that are appropriate responses to a given situation!!
Usually, people DO feel 'down' when they're sick with a bad cold or the flu!!!
Hope you're feeling better soon!!
Haha
My psych did tell me a while back to be prepared to get crippling lows when flus and colds hit.
It amazes me how low it goes.
BASS !
Everything positive gets turned upside down and I get images of my head in a noose etc.
It's so NOT me but I shake them off.

In fact, I'm doing that right now and I feel better already. You'll get so smashed you won't remember that you're sick.
With monocle and slippers !
