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.
both real and Cyber. A bunch think I'm a creep anyway so the rest of you might as well fuck off too. I fail at everything so you can count on that too. I don't think I have a SINGLE FUCKING FRIEND from the beginning from my start at DS. I am BANNED from the bpradio show, which I counted the host as a brother, only for accusation to hit me at my low, and no matter how much better I feel, that is still hurting!! I'm sick of how I can't every GET THIS LIFE RIGHT!!! JUST FUCK IT ALL!!!!!
i dont know if i will ever be where you are.
Everytime i read on your posts it always cheered me up.
I wish that i was there to tell you everything is going to be allright but sometimes life isnt fair. I know that it has happened to me alot of the time as of late.
I know that your smart and wonderful you just need to realize that people can be not the brightest crayon in the box. Maybe they will come around in time. I dont know the people your talking about but this is always a possiblity.
Stuff happens and miscommunication or none can happen. It makes a mess its what we do with it to make it better that makes the difference.
I m here if you need to talk..
Darlin, all of our lives have pretty much been a train wreck. that should be a diagnostic sign of BP -- oh, wait aminute. It IS.
Not everyone who has BP has suffered a tremendous amount of loss, but many have, and all that do, have certainly suffered more than they would have, without it.
I have -- had my BP dad's shotgun in my face at two years old. I have been molested by at least two, and I think three, family members. I have lost a 10 year marriage, which was unhealthy to begin with, but may not have been, had I been healthy to begin with. I have lost custody of all four children (which turned out to be permanently) right smack dab in the middle of nursing school. I have lost all my life savings to starting an Adult Foster Care Home that failed.
I have coped with it, mostly, by withdrawing, so I have lost out on tons of friendships, relationships, and life experiences.
And of course, losing my oldest son to this rabid monster, was by far the worst of all.
Since he died, I have lost the ability to work at all, and I have been waiting almost three years for an SSD/SSI decision.
I went manic about a year ago, and maxed out my CC. Since that time, I have had $40 a month left after paying bills, to live on.
We are all in this shit, honey, and you are not alone.
Hope you are feeling better hon. You are a very important member of this forum.
In fact when I first came aboard and was so pissed because you all seemed to have this private little world of your own - you were one of the people I hated the most. I thought you were the ring leader!!
But then I realized you were all friendly and there was no secret soriety club. It was all my imagination.
You mean alot to many many people here. I look forward to reading your posts, as I am sure others agree.
