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 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
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.
