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.
As most people are aware, people with BP can have a very creative nature.
If you do, what do you create? Art? Painting or Sculpture? Making Jewelry? Writing fiction, non-fiction or poetry?
I like to create mosaic art.
I enjoy writing very much.
And I like to dabble in jewelry making...nothing fancy.
I like to recycle almost everything I can and make it into a piece of art, but I have to be careful not to hoard...as I am a hoarder by nature.
I rarely purchase new furniture. I will get old stuff and jazz it up.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
I also think my cooking as a creative outlet.
Painting?I love to paint the walls of my house..trying different faux finishes.
I write, mostly Poetry.
I dabble in doing Art from time to time when the need is there. I surprise myself sometimes as the quality of the work is like it was someone elses creation. It's scary !
I used to do furniture refinishing too, but no room to make a mess in anymore :-)
I'm ready to start a new oil painting that will be super huge and weird. I'm going to paint a dark landscape with the nebulae Orion CLOSE and bright in the sky..with the reflections from it in the dark water. Gonna be a big project, but ever since I first saw the Hubble photos, I knew I HAD to paint one. They are so colorful and gorgeous!
I forgot to ask if anyone hear plays music or is in a band?
Or does theater work?
Anything creative qualifies!
