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.
Sometimes..I'm trying to give strength and advice but I realise that it's almost impossible.
Cos sometimes it's only through being totally alone within the cage of BP that we learn the most important things about ourselves.
Feeling our own personal weight to carry for that particular phase in the illness.
That hurts me too.
I just wanted to say that cos it dawned on me that hugs and messages and stuff are great...but I feel scared when some momentary link is broken.For that person.
So, although it feels like the utter end sometimes..I know that we must persevere because being alone is part of it.It ups our experiences.
Thanks.
Just needed to share..those times I'm banging my head on the table trying to reach a friend in need.
Peace.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
Sorry if it did.
It's knowing the times of my own isolation.How I can't convey that even if I am SURE that a friend is experiencing a similar phase.
I can't keep saying " It will pass "
It's not meant to sound as if it's me being some hero.That's bullshit and I'm sorry.I read it again and it's okay.
I wish you healing.
I've had friends tell me afterwards, when they told me during their crisis, all of my phone messages, etc. were crap; weeks later they've said that my efforts really helped.
Seriously, you are very caring. And it is very appreciated here.
Reaching out into a cold cyberworld...and finding friends(like you),is all some of us have.
BPSux.
You nailed it.Thank you.
