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.
What are your goals this week?
Any ways to get out of a funk in your plans?
Any ways to stay out of a funk in your plans?
Are you visiting your pdoc? therapist? going to any groups?
working? volunteering?
Any self-care tips you can share?
For me, I am feeling myself slipping into depression. I'm having lots of side effects, or so it seems, from my new birth control device, and I think it may have set off depression - That is, in fact, one of the listed side effects, even for those without mental illness. Worried.
I have no plans today but I need to at least go to the library to study so I can get out of the house. The time with my dog at the park this morning was good but coming home to an empty house was lousy. Wish my hubby didn't work either, lol. Then again, we wouldn't have a house to come home to.
Tomorrow I am walking shelter dogs from 8 am to 10 am and Wed I have my NAMI group. Thursday I'll be out at the rescue mission. Lots of volunteer stuff to do at home in the meantime but being out is better for me.
Let me know what you are up to this week!

I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...

Did we miss Wednesday? 'Cause I Know it's Thursday today!Maybe something wonderful will happen today. Maybe you'll learn something new today! Maybe you'll just see something awesome.Either way, I wish you a Good day!
Dobie, sounds like an awesome plan.
I leave for a relaxing vacation tomorrow, away from the hustle and bustle....six days of relaxation. It is much needed. I'm not planning much more than that! Of course the last few days of work before vacation are a pain....eek! Off I go to start my day!
Don't have sex with anybody- hormones are a-raging.
Don't self harm- been having the urge to.
Continue planning the wedding for my event planning class.
Oh, and eat.
I need to make this right.
So sorry to hear about the depression it was such a problem for me and birth control pills.....
As a matter of fact, I DO have some goals for the week!!

My goal is to get back to exercising in the water. The pool option is expensive and 30 mi RT, or go to the beach which is cheap an 12 mi RT.
