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.

Hello, everybody. Hope you are all well, not withstanding your hatred of Mondays.
I remembered halfway to my 82 year old mother's house that I forgot to take my pills this morning. My precious anxiety medication!!!!!! I NEED that when I'm going to spend hours with my mom, LOLOL!!!!
It was grueling.
Then I went to the Social Security office -- always a pleasure!!! -- and got proof of Disability and income so that I could apply for LI-HEAP.
Drove to THAT office in afternoon rush hour traffic, signed in and waited and waited and waited.
Then the lady came out and told me that their computer system froze up and I'd have to come back tomorrow.
There better be some good TV shows on tonight!!!!
If you're lucky enough to be poor (being on Disability qualifies me!!!!), you show proof of income for the last month, your latest gas bill, your latest electric bill, and your social security card. Enrollment started on September 1st.
They pay a certain amount of money for your gas and electric. It's paid directly to the utility companies.
Last year, I think I got about $500 for my gas and about $200 for my electric.
I'm pretty sure it's federally funded, so I believe it's nationwide.
Once they run out of funds, they're out, so it's best to apply early. I thought the sign up date was October 1st, or I would already have this done.
I think if you rent, and your utilities are figured into the overall figure, you might have to show proof of that.
Anyone interested in looking into it, here's the website:
