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.
In light of the latest thread war...I just wanted to say that I know sometimes things can be taken the wrong way.
Sometimes people are meant to be joking, and the other is hurt.
Sometimes people are being sarcastic, and the other is scared/hurt.
Sometimes you just can't express exactly what you mean to say b/c this is, after all, just typing. There's no facial or voice expression of anything.
If it is intended to be harmful in any way, click the ignore button. Heated discussions lead to the board, then we have thread wars. This makes us draw up conclusions based on other people's experiences and not our own. I think everyone should come to their own conclusions as to who they are to be friends with or not. For whatever reasons, without making a huge display of it for everyone to see.
Just my opinion.

They way it comes across is the way you hear it in your head even tho you are reading it.
I understand we all have our bad days. Some of it can be misinterpretations that is true. And each can make their own decision. I do make my own decision, but later wished I had listened to others. I will still make my own decisions on people.
But I've been hurt now, and I will offer less than I was willing to offer others in the past. I learned a lesson, I didn't understand how others were gettng their feelings hurt so bad on the boards, but now I do.
I just hate to see something meant entirely different taken the wrong way...and I really dislike singling people out (only b/c it's been done, and I've found that person to be one of my best friends on here).
Not everyone gets along, I don't expect everyone on here to. I just ask that if something comes across as offensive, take a step back and re-read it, b/c it could be meant to say something completely different.
You always sound like everything is sooo fucking bad and down in the dumps.
(MYY interpretation thank you)
Sure right now I am upset at possibly having someone imply I have hurt people. Cause if thats what your saying, I really wouldnt to impressed.
If we all a right to our opinions and actions, then why is it fair for people like you, MARY,
to judge and tisk and shade your head? I dont care to even think bout all this shit anymore. I think its enough I've been called a stalker today, but hey.
Why dont someone talk to pbneon to get it all figured out.
oh yeah... everyone who dont like me...
SUCK IT
Redundant, I know---and many here do not know me, but I will tell all that this is a situation that occurs constantly on the board. It never goes away, it happens over and over again, changing people only.
Do what is best for you as a person, ask advice if you wish and offer if you can. But like life, the good comes with the bad---non-support happens on a support site, too.
Peace Love and Eternal Hope for all.

Yes, you can choose to walk away at any time. Sometimes it's the best option.
But being told to get screwed(or other words) cannot be misinterpreted. and there are a few people on this board that just like to fuck with people. unfortunatly that is a reality.
name & shame if u dare
This thread is not meant to start any fights. I don't want to see that happen in my thread. Please if you're going to respond, respond respectfully.
kicking people when they are down, is not on
even if you are down yourself, if anything empathy should come into play here
