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 should show the doc some papers I wrote when I was in college and then a journal entry, without the fixing the errors that I make everyother word. It's riduculous. That and my loss for words, declined cognitve ability. Real confidence helper. Makes me so want to go and meet my kids teachers, neighbors, my kids parents, make new friends. On the occassions when I have to, interact with someone other than family, and it's a "bad day"....I want to cry, cry , cry. I feel so embarassed.
"Hello, if I forget what we are talking about during the middle of the conversation, slur my words, or just have total word loss please disregard it...I'm bipolar." Should I have that printed on cards that I can hand out to everyone I come across??? WTF??
Bipolar disorder DX, typically leads to medication. The meds affect the brain, the brain, our freaking control center, is what makes us who we are, do what we do, feel what we feel, think what we think. I feel so mixed up I don't know what to think or do. I could really use some help. What am I missing??

There are going to be people who wont get why you are having troubles with your speech, but there are a lot of us who take people on as friends without judgement.
I can totally relate to not wanting to meet people because I feel very keenly out of place..but I find the more I do it, the easier it is..the longer I let myself get away with not doing it..its sooo much harder.
Just keep hard at it, and you'll find the right med cocktail and you will be yourself. Good Luck!
