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 have opened a new group that I would like to offer to anyone who is looking to learn life copy skills.
The name of this new group is "Beyond Medication" here is the link:
http://www.dailystrength.org/groups/beyond-medication.
The focus of this group will be using alternative methods in dealing with the everyday struggles that BP can present us with.
We will be discussing things like DBT, mindfulness, meditation and other techniques of getting through our days without having to reach for another pill or having to call our pdocs. I realize that sometimes these things are necessary but won't it be nice to not have to rely on them as much?
I look forward to sharing my experience with others and learning what coping skills others have learned though out their lives.
I am also looking for 2 or 3 individuals who have experience in DBT, Mindfulness training, Yoga, Meditation and Guided Imagery, who would be interested in working with me and becoming Administrators of this group.
Together we can make this work and become a powerful tool in helping each other overcome this illness.

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.
just as long as we try to maintain human to human respect and decency without jumping into judgement, i would be fine with the sharing on this topic- as far as i can see.
okay, my two cents.
We are here to support and help one another not sit in judgement based on any race, creed or political beliefs.
I'm so excited you're moving forward with this. I think it will be a very positive, valuable resource. I know sometimes when I get distraught about something I can't see the forest for the trees. It will be comforting to know there's a place to go to flip through ideas for things I can do to help myself. You rock!
Just beware any and all abuse will be dealt with swiftly and decisively
