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.
Spirituality is an awakening --
or is it all the loose ends woven together into a mellow fabric? . . .
It's patience in the face of stupidity.
It's feeling that you want to knock somebody's head off --
and walking away instead. . .
It's wearing dungarees that feel like a tuxedo.
It's wanting to go home, yet being there. . .
It's the awareness that survival is a savage fight between you and yourself.
It's a magnetic pull toward those who are down and out.
It's knowing that even the bad times are good. . .
The singular thing that is spirituality cannot be given to a fellowman
by word of mouth.
If every man is to have it, then every man must earn it,
in his own way, by his own hand, stamped by the seal of himself,
in his own individual right.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
