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.

Darkness Visible 03/31/2013
Torn and twisted, tortured, sordid, tainted, turning mind.
Darkness, dankness, depths of sorrow, desperate search to find.
Some sort of light or way to climb back up out of the abyss.
Need some rope or tools to assist me on my quest.
On the borderline, on the ledge, on the verge, on the precipice, teetering over the edge.
Too easy to tip over, too easy to fall down, too easy to go over, to easy to jump and make no sound.
Reach out- then rejected. Reach out then ignored.
Ask for help then no one listens. Scream for help and no one cares
So tired of the exhausting ascension. So tired of getting kicked back down. Hard to look forward to tomorrow, when you know this will always be around.
Hope to summon my inner strength, to stand back up on my own two feet. Will make this life more constant, more solid, more livable.
But will always be vigilant, on the lookout for darkness visible.
