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 laid down to go to bed tonight in preps to get up for work
as usual. My mind would not quiet down and then in an instant
I had some severely dark thoughts. It was crazy - still is.
It's like my mind just turned on me- (if that doesn't sound schizoid and moody enough.) It took my breath away.
So I called in sick to work. I feel bad - but I am not sure if forcing myself to go right now is the best medicine.
I really want to offer a big hug of support to you guys, because I know that we may struggle to be healthy - and yet are nearly always dragged back into the abyss.
Thinking of you and thanks for reading!

Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.

I hope the darkness will pass quickly... Big hug for you...xo
People can redirect their brains, it just takes a bit of work/practice.
You might think of some good things that happened throughout your life, really good memories/moments and jot them down so that when the bad thoughts try to get hold, you can force your brain and thought process/sub-conscious to think of pleasant things until the bad thoughts stop.
Hope you feel better tomorrow.
