please stay dont be driven away 10 per cent bipolar is bipolar in my mind and most peoples.
think we must remember that on here people are going through different mood pnases all the time. sometimes they are happy other times very short tempered and angry.
and sometimes they will pick on any litte thing.
I began to think that people didnt want me around until i realized this site is here for when you need it and I like to help others too which then helps me

If I left because I got criticized I would have missed out on all those times I got supported here.

Just because you don't have bipolar - you can still post here. But if you do you'll have to be able to handle what others have to say. The Choice is yours.

i hope you reconsider. Take care though and i wish you luck.

:(

Okay, I am the paranoia queen and I say that this might be paranoia.

With me and my posts, Crystal, I've noticed that I have to give people time to answer them.......Sometimes, folks won't answer my stuff until the evening, so you have to give people time to answer.

What is this 10% bp anyway?. You are either bp or you're not. I think your pdoc is a bit confused. Anyway, stay if you are getting the support you need. Hate to see you go.

I don't understand the percentage thing either. Be that as you may, If you are getting support from somewhere, stay there. If that is here, stay here. Don't be run out just because of one person's opinion. That would be a shame.

thanks guys....that person just really hurt my feelings...my feelings get hurt easily... anyway.. the percentage thing come from me only meeting him the first time...he said from what all he has learned from me and about me he doesnt think its bipolar... his guess at first was less than 10% chance i was....itll take more time with him to be for sure i kno...but he said from the expirences i had are no where near to what a bipolar patient expirences....i was diagnoised with bipolar 1 by a medical dr in oct of 2010 and ive never even had a manic episode... the p-doc im seeing is suppost to be one of the best here in my area...hes got 30yrs under his belt and alot of people talk about him...and i do so far feel fairly confident in him....BIPOLAR 2 idk i asked him and he said agian he doesnt think its bipolar were dealing with... he said GAD for sure and agrophobia, and i tested positive for ADD. so thats what im working on ATM so we will see... anyways the reason i stick around is because i really like u all...and i dont mean to hurt feelings... even if im not bipolar i can still relate with the stress and anxiety part...and i really like the feed back i get from everyone about the meds... but anyways sorry so long IM STICKING AROUND o and ekatephane im not parinoid....that is one thing for sure i know i dont have... an where near anything that i do points to parnoia.. thanks guys

Many people leave this and many other groups just because some feel the right to be exclusive. They have no right to do that. The fact that there are groups on this website means that one can find what interests him/her faster and that the topics, generally, are sorted... We should consider DS as a place, one place where you might get or give some "daily strength" or just learn what you don't know, or share what you experience, or ask questions.
It doesn't mean that if one has a small cancer and another has it spread all over, well, not a pleasant thought, but, nevertheless, it - does - not - mean that the first one has not have cancer and should be kicked aside.
One could come on any of the groups, just because they are interested in the subject - maybe they are much more inclusive and understanding or learning to understand...
The worst is when people try to get ownership of their sickness and consider everyone else outsider with total disregard of other people's hurts, physical or emotional...
Just my 2 cents... sorry if I bored anyone - I tend to get carried away when writing...
