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 know that we have our good days and our bad days, but I wonder about how I should feel about having bipolar. I know that that sounds a bit catty.
You know, there was a time when I didn't even think about it really. I thought about personality. I was sassy and immature. I was dumb.
I'm more mature but i still have moods and I am realizing that these moods influence my behavior.
Did you know that I have become antisocial? I cannot for the life of me get the gist of social interaction in the professional realm. I am not like my pretty sister in NY or my neice who have the social graces.
If I could learn a set amount of behaviors which I could use like you use a rubick's cube---to use one in one situation and then another set of manners in another. This would help immensely.
I AM using my meds and taking them regularly. I do have to confess that the doctor has to give me samples of the Saphris because that sucker costs 300 bucks.
Dunno.
Plus we have a new journalist and I don't really "jive" with his personality.
I'm acting all crazy today ALTHOUGH I DID GET SOME WORK DONE.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
