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 seen the PDoc and she talked to me for over a hour and between her and my therapist I am not BP2 I am BP1. Due to my patranoid feelings I have that I am in danger I usually don't tell many people about that but sometimes I get this feeling that I am in danger. Like someone is going to get in my apt after me.

Congratulations on talking about it more. I have a problem with that myself, I often don't tell them very much about the paranoia, anger fits, tearing up kitchen cabinets, voices, etc. I need to. I'm beginning to understand, by listening to feedback from my family, that I need more medicine, and I need to be more honest with my pdoc. It's just that we are planning to move real soon, and this would be a bad time to try and make a doc appt.

I've always said that us OCD people are the safest around what with checking that doors and windows are locked and the burners are off on the stove!

I understand that and it's something you can work on. I remember being manic and paranoid and being afraid to be anywhere! I'm glad that's just a memory and I hope you can make it a memory too!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
