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 know it can give us side effects at first.
But is there anyone else that can help me in saying that Lithium is ACE??? I have met many in England that agree.
I hear criticism here about Lithium.It's obviously personal.So is my tribute.
I owe my life to this hard bastard of a drug.It reminds me of my eldest brother.Tough but Caring.
It truly saved me.Yeah, along with the other stuff.
I just tire of the detractors.
Lithium is ace.Wonderful....please ?
BIG POWER CHORD !!!

i made this account because i hope this reaches someone who can understand. I feel immense shame and guilt over my past behavior while manic. I have ruined relationships with friends and family members, gotten tattoos that i dont want, done things that make me cringe. The weight of the self hatred gets to be too much sometimes. I feel like a burden. Nobody understands. I hate myself today.

Our great friend OlderC could really use some love and support right now... She's hit a rough patchBig squishy hug Kat... I hope that you start to feel better really soon.... xo
Plenty here are miserable..haha
It is the only long-term med I have been on from Day 1 of diagnosis.
Good partnership throughout, but after nearly 14 years I want to be med free.
Diet is the essential part of Bipolar that can keep one stable. I have seen enough evidence of this to make it a viable option for me. It will take time, money and a lot of perseverance....but I will do it.
.
I guess whatever works for each person is great for them.
I've cut it by 25%.
It does it's job.Diet and stuff is important.
Who's ti say that the time on Lithium has aided evolution of our minds in other ways.In illness, we educate ourselves.That's a must.
Otherwise it's fear that wins.
I am coming off but in a structured and measured way.
Not because of stigma or because I can't cope with some side effect.
Best of Bollocks to ya.Beeper.
Actually I like my lithium, these are the only two untranslated English words I know.
But yeah, Lithium is a good drug for our illness...an absolute miracle for many.
Migraines from Mars ! Balance problems....memory stuff..etc
I just kept saying to myself that it's brain chemistry.
That's deep stuff.On a molecular level and then some more !!
I was Zombie too.
I never had DS or books.
Just the NHS and it's heroes and fuckwits.
I wanted my medal...like Muttley!!
No Pain no mental recovery gain

The GP on the Stephen Fry series on TV.
Meet her, she is a shining example of how to become med.free.
Forget her name, stunning woman though.

Forgetting names is a side effect of Lithium btw.
Bollocks is another.
