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 think I am starting to see the "light of a candle from ten miles away". I haven't engaged with my hubby like I did tonight in a very long time. 2013 was a very bad year for us and he's still a bit shell shocked from it.
But I got him to share about it ... finally.
So, I decided to try to set some goals for myself. SMART goals.
I forget the whole acronym but I get the general idea
I want to lose weight so I an move around better and have less pain and fit into more of my clothes.
But it takes lots of little steps to get there. And there are obstacles.
I decided to only plan 3 days at a time. But I cannot decrease my salt intake per doctors orders. (orthostatic hypotension)
I'm thinking about yoga and indoor bike riding and some resistance training. eventually.
Tomorrow I will stretch and do a little resistance. I will start an exercise journal. For this is my first goal. Wish me luck/cheer me on. Share a goal. :)

I've been feeling like I don't matter my wife the other day instead of telling me she was having a pain day when I went to have sex with her she tell me afterwards that she having pain day due to her fribromyalgia and making feel like shit afterward saying she has a list of things from past 9 years of thing for me to do and is always adding more and more to this list and talk...
My goal is to work with my service dog on training for today (I'll stick to short term for now, as I cannot promise past that). Thank you for getting me to think of a goal that is achievable and specific. I want to set myself up for success.
Try not to over do and you'll avoid the pain that usually causes most people to stop. Allow a day or two recovery time and maybe work on different muscle groups.
In a matter of weeks you'll experience your own personal rewards that should encourage you further. Just remember you're building muscle and muscle burns calories faster than fat...fuel the muscles to burn the fat...and no...I'm not calling anybody here fat...it's a legitimate medical term.
