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 have had to back off from posting on here sometimes beucase I just get set off by some posts, but cant help but read them. Like when someone says they want to commit suicide to a bunch of people with BP...I am not so sure how much help everyone can be..
Geeze I hope I dont get shit for this one..
but I think most of us here are to learn and understand too and correct me if I am wrong but i think we all have wanted to kill ourselves at one point or another no? Its like sometimes I read a post that I dont think is an I want to die post and read it and I get bummed and the feeling is like a monkey on my back, yet I still want to read...
PLEASE someone say they agree .. shoot otherwise I will feel like an ass

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...
Not MINE !!
No no no no.
THEIRS.
I know of others that have died. Now the question is does it help more people than it hurts. I think so, I also think that it is not DS service to worry about that. DS is a place for us bipolars to talk, listen, ask questions, and for flying off the handle. It's job isn't to play God or play Therapist or Pdoc. It's goal is to do just what it is doing.
Which is allowing us to talk to each other about anything that bothers us.
Here you can get shit if you believe in God or if you are an atheist. You can get yelled at if you cuss, or if you are a pansy and don't cuss like a sailor?
I have never known a sailor to cuss, hmmmmmmmmm!
I try to respond to people when they come here talking about how they want to kill themsleves but you really have to keep a realitic perspective of it allto keep yourself from falling in the same hole. Words over the internet can only go so far, if this person whom lives halfway way across the world is really intent on killing themselves, there's only so much you can do for them. If you feel like you sinking into depression because of the posts, don't hesitate tostep away from the keyboard and take some time for yourslef. You have to take care of yourself first before you can even consider taking care of other's in need.
