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.
You may need to go through the same process to finally "get it." I hope not, it's an effective but unpleasant way to learn!
Oh and I hate putting chemicals in my body too - but i'd rather be sane and live.
I feel I am less severe than other bipolar people simply because I don't become manic and I've only been hypomanic once. Depression is a serious concern of mine but maybe I can just go on antidepressants when I become depressed.
