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.
no matter how much I try, no matter how many I have around me, no matter how much I think about the lies being told me, I cant seem to get the lonely sad mean thoughts out of my head.
the bipolar lies and says I am better off dead, that I am worthless, that I can not do anything right, that I am a bad mother, daughter, sister, human being in general. it tells me I am weak and alone. it tells me that no one could ever love me and that no one would ever want me.
there I sat on the couch thinking these things, honestly pondering the thought of dying, when something awesome happened. my youngest son came in from outside with the most beautiful pink rose and gave it to me for being the best mother in the world. I wanted to cry. without knowing my son saved me from treading that very thin line that appears out of nowhere occasionally.
I had wrote a post the other day about trying to bear out the lies that bipolar tells us. I had almost let it win. I am still very sad and feeling so alone, but now I remember to bear with the lies until they pass.
I hope that everyone out there has the sweetest of dreams tonight. for each and everyone deserves it.
sending mental roses and a hug to everyone out there feeling so alone tonight, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

The best way I've learned to handle them is to use positive thoughts and talk back to the ideation. It's not complicated.
Ideation: you suck. Me: I know you are but what am I? And over time it works.

Bipolar can aggravate our minds and cause threatening thoughts.
BUT THEY ARE JUST THOUGHTS THAT CREATE ACTION URGES.
WE DON"T HAVE TO ACT ON OUR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS.
You showed everyone that you want a better life when the simple act of unconditional love entered your life at the same moment these negative bipolar thoughts were trying to siege you...a beautiful pink rose and some loving words showed you that LIFE IS WORTH living and it has been along.
We must conquer these thoughts with positivity in any way we can find it...to help us pull through.
Thank you for your rose :) Many roses back to you
sometimes, I feel that way about my daughter. I happen to be religious though and my thing is this: if there is a plan to the world, who am I to doubt? if things happen for a reason, who am I to think that there is no plan for me?
if you are not religious, sorry in advance(:
Later on, I made a point to congratulate 'so and so' for his innovative design. i wish could have put it up here.
I can feel and see what others can't. That is my job. i lift up the spirits of others in a way many others don't.
i step off my soap box and I hope you are able to hear me because I know you are not in a great place right now.
you just have to remind yourself of your gifts.
