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.
But I should probably frequent here more. I keep making a bigger mess of my life... Now it's not apparent on the surface because only my therapist knows but if/when it comes to light to more.. Like my family... it's going to/would be a huge mess.
I'm not even on meds and sometimes I think I cycle pretty fast... I can go from happy to totally bummed in a minute and I am way too dependent on others to "make" me feel good. I don't know. I'm coming here and throwing this out there. Perhaps I need to talk to people who could understand..... I don't know but hello again. I'm going to try to be more involved here. :)

My therapist has not always been in agreement with the psychiatrist that diagnosed (quit seeing him when I got pregnant with my son and never went back, I had so much trouble on every med I tried before that so I gave up).
Umm the thing on my mind lately is I don't have a lot of self respect.... I have let guys use me.... Every bad thing I turn on myself.... I can't cut so I do other things that hurt but don't leave obvious signs... I have a good front...... But Behind it I'm a giant mess... I have issues with food and eating.... I don't really know what to do anymore... I'm tired of just surviving.... So I want to try to make changes again!
