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'm a quarter German, and I think that it attributes to my bipolar disorder to live with the guilt of years of socialism and the holocaust. Though I am not descended from German people who were living in Germany during the time of WWII (MY German grandfather was a pilot for the U.S. Navy during WWII and fought Nazis), I still have difficulty with this reality that I have to carry blood of a people who were who they were at that time.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I refuse to feel any responsibility for anything except that which I myself have done. (Sometimes, even that's more than enough!! LOL!!!)
You know, it might be your bipolar that contributes to your feelings of guilt, rather than the other way round!!
I hope that you find a way to drop your guilt, as far as Nazi Germany is concerned. You certainly aren't responsible for any of it. Live your life as well as you can so that you can feel proud that you have done all you can to make the world a better place, as a way of wringing some good out of what was a horrific time in history. Hanging on to the guilt just increases the amount of damage and pain that it caused.
Good luck and take care.
