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 wrote out a monologue of hatred and doom and gloom and world domination and re-enacted it in a dramatic voice to the Lord of the Rings trilogy soundtrack. [most fantasy and scifi-genre movie soundtracks will do, pick something symphonic and foreboding and rant away!]
The absolute most successful way for me to relieve stress is being absolutely serious about my worldly discontent but in the silliest, most absurd way imaginable. Making fun of myself actually aided in the restoring of my pride [during an oncoming episode] because I did it in a creative way. It was a creative outlet that allowed me to be kooky and melodramatic and was a success. (:

When I get into the depressions...I have to just go into a self preservation mode , which usually consist of how ridiculous life is .
I'm glad you feel better !
However, don't be too down on yourself as you probably have legitimate concerns. I think with the amount of horrors in the world, its normal to be depressed.
Then again, depression solves nothing so why not be happy!
