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.
a friend of mine says there is no point in talking about things that really bother you because it just causes bad feelings.
Her logic is that the best thing to do is not to think about things that bother you, and talking about it just makes you think about it.
I know thinking about things too much can get me down, so is it better not to talk about things, try to keep my mind off problems?
Why does it seem like I want to talk about things sometimes - am I just asking for pain?

the fine line between thinking and dwelling.
I find that verbalizing things helps me work out the issues so I can deal with them and not dwell on them.
Talking about your feelings takes some of the pressure off and talking with friends about the things you feel - if they are good friends - helps diffuse the pain you are feeling.
And I agree with Mojo too - if you talk about things with friends you might get a resolution. If your friend happy?
I tend to be a stuffer and it causes alot of problems and resentment.
