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.
At times I feel that therapy is a crucial method of getting by having bipolar. Sometimes, I also feel my therapist does not truly understand what is happening with me. It's a give and take relationship to say the least. I at times become confused on how things are progressing. I really like my therapist. He seems to understand me for the most part. I guess that my state of mind is confused presently. My outlook is okay.

Big hug for you RbT.... You can always ask questions if you aren't comfortable with what's going on in a session....It's great that you like your therapist... That's important IMHO... xo

Therapy helps me. The frequency and settings goals can be individual. I agree, don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Hi! I understand what you mean, sometimes therapy sessions feel like a gamble on how helpful they will be. Something that helped me get more out of my time with my therapist was stating what I wanted to work on each week, for example we work on DBT skills for anxiety because that area I usually need the most help in.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...
