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.
My husband is just trying to be sensitive to my needs, but lately it's starting to feel patronizing. Every day he asks me how I'm "feeling." And feeling has a different connotation than it would for a normie. He's constantly assessing my moods, even normal ones.

What do you do about it?

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...
