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.
We laid our Chris to rest Friday 9/7/12. He commited suicide 8/31/12 and he was just 18. The service was beautiful and very moving. So many emotions all at once and such love. We all said goodbye to our little man and hopelessly realized we would never see him again. Now we are stuck with nothing but questions and trying to make sense of this. And this urge to spread the word to all who feel suicidal to get help and to let family and loved ones know what signs to look for. I have decided to get my first tattoo in remembrance of Chris. It will be a suicide awareness ribbon with his name on it. 2 of my cousins and my sister in law are also getting it. I feel it will be a wonderful way to honor him. I never knew what suicide could do to others.
I have always been stuck inside my own pain when I thought about it, and felt the need to just go away. But now I know the pain it causes those who are close to you. I myself am feeling the pain from all this, and hundreds more people. I have seen people constantly threaten suicide on this board. But I never knew that anyone in my life would do it. If you are thinking suicide please get help. Its a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It can be prevented and there are people who love you who would be devastated. I have seen completely sane people turn into shells through this.
My aunt who lost her baby is a basketcase. She will NEVER be the same again! So I beg of you, if you are thinking of hurting yourself PLEASE GET HELP! You are special, everyone is. We are all beautiful and we all mean something to someone. Speak up and let those who love you know you are suffering and that you need help. Take it from someone who knows, in a few hours you will be ok. Or a few days. Once the mood changes you will see the light shine through again. I love you my friends. Please reach out and save your lives or be aware of any loved ones who may need saving.
fyi... this is not a preaching post. Just have urge to raise awareness to a group that I love so dear. This past week has been extremely rough.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
For those of us who have been touched by suicide, YES, you suddenly realize how much it affects the people around you.
Thanks for putting this Topic up
And HUGS and blessings to your family in this hard time
