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 totally thought I was done on the computer today, no more on DS, time to do laundry (yeah feeling a tad productive). Anyway, there is this Pharma commercial on TV for those suffering with BP. And in it you can call a special number and get a packet of info, thanks to Bristol Meyer Squibb.
Get this, in the packet is a book that we can track our symptoms in. Now correct me if I am wrong, but I would just misplace the book, meaning I would have put it somewhere logical, that I can't remember two days later. So then I would grab random post-it's and leave them in random places. I would have peices of paper stuck to the fridge. Things written out on the back of notebooks. Oh yeah, and four days later I would forget to track.
Who writes these commercials??? Do they really understand us? Good Freaking Greif.
Okay, I am done ranting.

Yeah, one of us would probably call for it while in a "self medicated state". It would arrive with the hand hammered wok from china by UPS.

I know we don't do Political on this Board...But damn it feels good to know we have a Sane Man in the Presidency and an intelligent Woman in the Vice Presidency, ready to uphold America's Democracy and actually "Lead", not turn it into a Dictatorship or worry about who's in control of the codes that command our Nuclear Missiles! I personally breathed a very, very big sigh of relief today and am...
