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 began writing a journal entry that was directed more in the "fu** it" genre...but it took a turn in the middle. Just thought I'd share it with you all.
Everything sucks...and i'm not saying that in a depressed way...I'm saying it as if you asked me how my day was and I say "It was fine". But it's so true. You can look at anything, and find negative. Hell, I'm Queen of pessimism. You can look at:
a car....it causes pollution
a radio...it's too loud, the bass is too weak, it's ugly
a toy....it's old, it's dirty, it's useless
a beeper...they're crazy, unstable
a saner....the're ignorant
a kitten....they poop.
There's always something negative about everything. BUT...there's is always something positive about everything as well. Even the worst possible thing. Not saying that I wish tragedies on anyone, but there is something positive that comes from that too.
Anyone in the throes of BP cannot see the positive that can come from anything. I actually can't believe that I am writing this, b/c I am by far not an optimistic person. I don't even know what the hell possessed me to start writing this. I was going to rant about how "sure, everything sucks." and I guess I took a turn somewhere in there. hmm...mood stabilizer please?
Perhaps I've just had an epiphany. Nah...I'm sure I'll still be pessimistic, but wow...hey, there's something positive in everything too.

Make another list and write out the positives.
I am a pessimistic as well however I put alot in Gods hands if I cant do it.
I also have a thought diary, it you want to know the set up just message me and I will tell you how to do it. It teaches me to change my negative thoughts.
