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.
i learned about this and did some lessons on this when i was just hospitalized a month ago.

dialectical behaviour therapy is designed for ppl with borderline..to help them deal with their short fuse, self-destructive gestures etc. Not sure that it helps with bipolar.

Yeah, I'd need some more information too, or else I'll go on feeling stupid and ignorant.

Borderline is often the result of childhood abuse, particularly sexual, that affects personality development..it is a behavioural disorder, bipolar is a mental disorder.

I told my mother maybe dbt will teach me how to live, it's my last chance although so many signs tell me it's too late for me, and not for others ... that's why I feel such a rush to put my poems to videos ... I don't have thousands of dollars to publish another book ... but music and visuals, there's something I can give to a world that's given me nothing but sadness .... (my journal has been updated if you'd like to get to know me)... peace, Liz

I am totally freaking out. I think I just discoverd something .... I think I have this disorder after looking it up and reading about it.. What if I have this and not BP? It seems more correct with the moods changing very fast etc... and very touchy... etc.. OMG I am freaking out.
