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'm struggling in accepting myself. And I don't know how to improve or what to tell myself. I just feel like a loser a lot of times, I gain so much weight with my meds, bp has set me way back from where my life should be by now. I don't have anyone special to love and to be loved by ( and ALL my friends have someone). And here I am stuck in my loneliness and with a disorganized mind that races and that takes me on a journey that I don't want to be on. Any advice? What helps you accept yourself the way you are?
If I can help others then I am half way likable.
I battle with self-esteem issues and I don't have a big support network either. I go to individual counseling once a week which helps and I'm reading a book call "The Bipolar Survival Guide" has lots of great info on all sorts of struggles that we have. Not beating myself up so much and not being to hard on myself really helps me out alot......it take constant work but is well worth it. If we can get rid of the shame, blame and guilt, we are on the road to recovery!
