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 gone up and down as most days. Last night I felt like I was going to die young.
An old friend reassured me that it was just a feeling, not a fact -though feelings are real he said-
and so I kept that in my mind.
Today I went to work, and my mood went way up and way down - but I was occupied and ultimately fulfilled
by that occupation - and the comraderie of my coworkers.
Though I have a really unstable sense of self - my personality can change a lot - this happened
today, the realization of accepting my life.
I felt like I would like a better life - and then kind of thought this is my own
little ole idiosyncratic life so just love it. - I kind of realized too - that I need to lift myself up above my feelings
and just move on. So this is my life. I went down into Malibu today and posted something at the Post Office
totally stammered for fear with the Postal worker but it's ok. I am sharing this because I think I am kind of inspired to keep going
though alone now (and so I am posting here) I may feel like a piece of beat up red meat at times - I am learning to accept it.
I need to work to make money - but it is also great therapy for me - it's great to be around people. When I am at home
and plopped down in the front of the TV my mood doesn't do so well. I think that's important for me to maybe make a change about. When I get tired at work - my mood shifts and scramble brains get to me - but maybe at home once I am rested I can start to find other things to do. Just thoughts. Thanks for reading this rambling message!!
