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'm flying pretty high right now. This hasn't happened in forever. I've been so depressed lately. I'm dancing around the house listening to Madonna. I want to fix a drink and get all made up and go out. This isn't me. I'm pretending in my head I don't have restrictions with my medical conditions. I think journaling about old destructive behaviors made it worse. My boyfriend is at work for another 3 hours. I really wish my mind would stop going so fast.

I managed to calm myself down a little. I fixed some chicken noodle soup, took a long shower and played some cards online. I feel a little better today. My t doc said she was afraid my cat passing away would trigger an episode of cycling. Hopefully starting the depakote with give me some relief.

So sorry about your cat. Boy do I know where you are right now. It's been a long time for me but I oh do I remember the wake of destruction when flying high. Glad you are feeling better. Good for you for using good coping skills and not listening to that part of you. (((Hugs)))

That;'s great you found a way to help you feel better. Sounds like you were really good to yourself. And why not? You deserve it Hugs., My condolence about your cat. Meds can help but there are other ways too. Meds aren't everything. Caring for yourself is important too.

Quick, before the evil MONday gets here! Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That. Sadly. But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top. I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
