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.
Right now, I feel bad, too. I enjoyed this weekend because it was deemed a "birthday weekend" and I was treated well in that I had no responsibilities. What a relief. Otherwise, I am so exhausted and overwhelmed. I feel alone in figuring things out.
Anyway, but it's not about me. Sorry for babbling. Just know you are not alone. I am sad and angry, too.
As far as your friend (?) who was in hospital...when we go into hospital it's not because we're the most rational people. Cut this person some slack and try not to take her attitude personally. Be civil but don't engage until she's through with her rage.
I think there are better options than not waking up. If a person never woke up how would they order a hot fudge sundae?
It's good to learn to set priorities!
