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.
Wait! I've done that all my life! Ok, point me to the nearest bar, there is no hope for me.
I get it, they think it's fun to tag along when your manic but it is really just you with a lot of people laughing in the background.
Just learn to play with yourself my dear!
I like the Tshirt thing!
Sometimes the company is great.In both scenarios, I mean.
You have to remind yrself yr just sharper and funnier and deeper etc.I get told that.It's nice to know but can be a burden too.
It's like you are a magnet for intense emotional attachment and people will divulge their person to you.
Like they wouldn't do to others.
Go out but keep yr expectations head high.
PPPPFFFFTTTTTT to all the big kids.
BP doesn't define me so why try to define anybody else?
Now fun is another variable.
To me there's no need to go anywhere to have fun. I can have fun right here (wherever I am) and if I can't I figure I can't have fun anywhere else. Maybe other people need some...stimulation...to have fun. That's ok, but dont take it out on other people!
I don't have an answer.
On the other side, ie being depressed there are another set of issues.
My problem is, I have that paranoia thing going on. If I walk into a restaurant or bar with a friend, I am CERTAIN all the normal, pretty people are looking at me and thinking about how ugly and strange I am. That makes it extremely difficult to talk to someone, but let me get drunk and I'll talk to you no matter who you are, and have a damn good time doing it!
How sad and pathetic is that? I have to be intoxicated in order to have a good time and feel at ease around others. The future looks bright, huh?
UGH! Whatever.
There, a Sunday momentary moodswing for Dobies
