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 was prompted to post this in reply to the lurkers post.
I was dx's with PP1 in 2000. I have been stable since then, once we found the right med mix - that took about 6-8 months. I am just one of the lucky ones. My stability also coincides with my sobriety. Funny how that works, huh?
I come here sometimes just to see how others are doing. It seems to me like their is alot of drama here - and I know that is the way it will be because BP, esp mania, just breeds drama. However, I feel like I don't belong here because I am fairly stable. I want to offer support, but don't want to come off as gloating or "better than thou".
I just want to know if I am welcome or not.
Thanks, Scarlet

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.

I find i stay away from here when Im up.. thats when im getting out.. doing stuff.. when im depressed im prompted to be closer to people here and interact more.
I love this forum, because it accepts all types. We have great fun, when people are up, but we are supportive if someone is down.
As for drama - how much TV do you watch? I watch almost none, so coming here gives me my drama fix some days. Just try and not get sucked into the maelstrom of it. And don't forget the ignore button.
Jackie Chan?
Jim Carey?
Jacques Cousteau?
