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.
Last nite I was talking to my Uncle on my moms side and I mentioned my med bill and he said "I really dont know why you and your brother have so many problems. After all your mom was always there and stable in your life. I know your father was messed up but you still had a clean safe home."
I said... maybe you dont realize this but BP is passed along in the genes and everyone on his side has BP. ANd to top it off maybe you dont know but I was seriously Abused during the 8 years my father lived with me. He had absolutely no clue....
Now that he actually gets it he understands why I need the extra help with my daughter and have done stupid things. He still doesnt understand BIpolar but at least he understands abuse (sorta) maybe my family will finally all be on the same page and cut me some slack

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...
