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.
Who is there own worst enemy by thinking to much. I know I get into trouble if I dwell to long on stuff, it leads to making bad decisions like thinking I don't need my meds or maybe I do not have BPDO. THen I say well I can cut this med or that one. I can go drink a little. This type of thinking leads me to trouble so I try to keep very busy with whatever keeps my mind occupied like, DS, cleaning, exercising, running errands, whatever. I have learned this from my last couple of crashes. If I stay busy I have a better chance of staying on track plus I get more done that makes me feel good and reinforces having structure and a routine instead of floating along with to much time on my hands to dwell on negative stuff.

I do the same thing when have too much time on my hands is think and its often negative so I turn the negative into a positive by calling up a friend to talk too, hang out with my friends, exercising, laundry, cleaning, running errands......I live with my dad and I cant stay home too much cause he makes me even more nervous cause I FEEL i should be living on my own like i used too..........

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
