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 stay busy, I am in therapy, I am working a DBT program every wednesday........and I use the techniques that they teach me on a daily basis.
I was a very anxious child...always thinking the worst, assuming the worst, I worried like no child should have to worry.
I have carried that up into my adult years though the worries are different....
I am just upset because I am like this.....I don't get much peace ya know? I try to create as much peace in my life as I can but my mind/thoughts don't let me really rest much.
I'm always thinking/worrying about one thing or another.....staying in the moment is extremely hard for me...always has been. I'm just writing this because I am upset and could use some support from you guys. I don't like being this anxious all the time or having to work so hard NOT to be....but it is what it is.
I'm trying hard not to make a huge deal over it because I know this feeling will pass and another will take it's place....that is the upsetting part...knowing that I just don't get much peace....feeling so uncomfortable in most situations....having to deal with this constant state of unrest.....
Ok I'm done for now...thanks or reading.

So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
No, I'm just kidding. I hear that on the radio all the time.
I too, lifetime worrier (my dad was too) so some of it must be in the genes. I never knew I had so much 'anxiety' though. Med.'s have helped.
SO yes runs in the genes no doubt....meds help but only to a certain degree for me. sigh
Hang in there. (((Hugs)))
My parents also had the worrying thing.
I hope the best for you. I wish i could help , I have no answers either..
You haven't been in DBT for that long and I think it'll take quite a while to change a way of being that has been with you for most of your life..
Maybe you and Will could get into the art of massage??... I don't get to have one often at all but it sure does relieve stress..
I'm sure there'd be a lot of info online..
Do you have a prn sweetie??
Love and a great big hug for you..xo
sometimes its good to be here and sometimes it over whelms me..talking about stress and anxiety..
i hope you get some relief..i love the days when i do and i run with it..even if its just for a moment..big hugs..
