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 doing ok today, but I struggle with this bipolar illness on a regular basis since I was 18 when I was diagnosed. The doctor still can't get my meds straight, the meds work for awhile then they stop working. I try to exercise regularly, listen to affirmation cd's, attend support groups, I have a few friends I talk to, but this can be a really lonely illness. I used to drink alcohol to deal with it( now I have 18 months soberity) and I used to smoke cigerettes tp deal (2 days smoke-free). I journal alot and try to pray but I am not very consistant with it.

Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.

Have a great time, learning, and I hope you realize, sometimes we are silly, but still very serious about helping people through the highs and lows of this disease.
