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 am a massage therapist and have always done a lot of direct care work. I really love it. I think that it also may directly help me as a B.P. Helping others helps me not think of me so much.. or something. SOrry I am tired and am not saying exsactly what I am trying to get across.
Do you get me anyway?:)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I also used to be a Crisis Line Operator. For me, helping others keeps me away from stirring in my own crap. But, also, it reminds me of how far I've come. And, sometimes I forget certain things until someone mentions it.
I try to help whenever I can here. You'd think I'd know something after being diagnosed 16 years. Alas, this BP still kicks my ass from time to time. But, at least I have 8 years of taking my meds religiously!! :) Yay me! LOL
I think you have to set yrself a perimeter, a limit otherwise it can overstretch or sap too much.It's good to know that I was asked to help out.
Bad that the communication was left to be so stale in the first place.
