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.
How did all these people live with bipolar, no meds and stay alive?? How does Robin Williams, Ben Stiller, Jim Carrey live with it and are so successful, plus no weight gain..tell me that? I don't feel like I'm like them in the least, but I do get encouaged when Patty Duke, etc try to help others with this, plus loved her book, could relate in areas, and couldn't in others. I'm so encouraged when I know they died a 'natural/ death..sorry, probably shouldn't have put that in there..I'm 48..never been hospitilized, can't afford to go to a 50,000 dollar facility, and never tried to take my life, just wonder how long I will manage...please send words of wisdom..nothing negative, and believe me..I talk to God all day,and keep asking him to hurry up and to come back!!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
But I wouldn't give up anything to have their lives. How long will it take? Some meds work in a month, some times it takes years to find the right combo. Hang in there. And be thankful there is no paperazzi there to catch you in your worst moments.
