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.
What was your world like ?
How much hope was there for you ?
For me...for 5 or 6 years I was a lost person.I was heartbroken by the illness and the experience of hospital...but strangely.. I found hope in my delusions/psychoses.They left me and I was dx BP ONE.
However, even though I moved around again and became quite alive, I suppose.....I was very concerned at the BPs I had met.In meetings and stuff.Not very well organised meetings.I left more confused than when I had arrived.
Finding DS happened at the right time.Any earlier and I wouldn't have been as sharp.Wouldn't have been as 'ME'.
It's shown me a whole new place to share with bipolars, laugh with bipolars and even get on their nerves.To be moved by the wealth of heart here too.
ALL BONUS.
Love It.
How bout YouUUUU ??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
great post, thank you!

i'd say ds got me through that tough period and made me feel less lonely.
definitely the best thing ds has given me is a handful of good friends that i trust.
I had four manic episodes.
So , by the time all that blew over....I'm glad I had 8-9 years WITHOUT a computer.
I wouldn't have had the mind to operate it anyway.Too busy trying to stay alive.
So DS coincided with the first year of me having a laptop.
Good shit.
We had detritus !
I googled frantically searching for some support & then one night stumbled in here.
I've learnt a lot & made some awesome friends, this site is the best for us friends & family too :)
