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 work in sales and real estate...I look up people's private info all the time.

This is the only place I can really be myself & be open & honest about this part of life, so that's not going to be a deal breaker for me. I have NO support in the real world. I hope we don't lose a bunch of members because of this...
