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.
The posting of other poetry has inspired me to write one that I wrote a while back when riddled with anxiety. Hope you guys can relate to it. Good day to all.
Anxiety eats at me like a ravenous lion,
That primal feeling of fear.
I always know that the lion is near.
Sometimes I feel as if I am dying.
The lion eats away at my guts,
Gnawing and gnawing at me
As I worry about things until I am nuts,
When is the end going to come to be?
I pace and I deny myself food to eat,
All a futile attempt to keep the lion at bay
Drink coffee as my adrenalin treat.
But, alas, nothing works in any way.
Can the doctor or the therapist help me,
No-they know not the ferocity of the lion's roar.
Oh, in this shape how have I come to be?
That this anxiety rocks me to my very core.
And yet I go to individual therapy,
Even dreaded group counseling,
To try and make sense of me
And how anxiety ridden I have come to be.

Aw, deb!! I know the feeling sweetie. For months, my creativity was squashed by meds and bad ole' moods. You will get it back. Sit down and write about anything that comes to you even if it's unorganized and such when you start out. It'll come hon. Have a wonderful day and thank you very much for the compliment. It means alot to me.

Zany.. so true.. I sometimes feel nervous to even post on here cause I cant put words to what I want to say.. I feel like a zombie

I think you do a fine job as I read the postings around here. Can't tell a bit that you are nervous about writing. I am glad you are able to overcome your anxiety about it and post anyways. The ability to step out even when uncomfortable is a good quality to have. Hugs sweetie.
